Zymo Research ZymoPURE Syringe Plunger for Purification Kits - 18 Plungers

Zymo Research ZymoPURE Syringe Plungers – Polypropylene Construction, Silicone Lubricant Coating, Non-Sterile, Midiprep Refill Component (MPN: C1037-5)

The Zymo Research C1037-5 (also cataloged as ZC1037-5 or ZC10375) is a premium, molecular-biology-grade laboratory automation accessory engineered explicitly as a component refill for ZymoPURE Plasmid Midiprep and Maxiprep nucleic acid purification kits. Injection-molded from high-purity virgin polypropylene, these non-sterile syringe plungers feature a thin coating of laboratory-grade silicone lubricant. This specialized surface interface minimizes physical friction, ensuring a smooth, single-motion downward stroke during high-throughput lysate filtration steps. Tailored to align with the barrel of ZymoPURE Syringe Filters, these plungers allow technicians to rapidly push up to 60 mL of neutralized bacterial cell lysates through filtration media, cleanly separating cellular debris from plasmid DNA templates without backpressure leaking or column stalling.

Technical Performance and Engineering

• Silicone Lubricated Interface: The outer mechanical contact surfaces are treated with a microscopic layer of inert silicone lubricant. This coating drives high glide performance, preventing sudden structural jerking or sample splashing when clearing dense cellular lysates.

• Pure Polypropylene Metallurgy: Molded completely from virgin, high-clarity polypropylene containing zero trace plasticizers, heavy metals, or mold-release agents. This clean chemical composition ensures zero contamination risks pass into raw downstream genomic eluates.

• Granular Pressure-Stroke Control: Features a wide, rigid thumb-rest flange paired with a structurally reinforced internal cross-beam shaft. This mechanical architecture delivers linear force distribution down the barrel axis, eliminating thumb fatigue under high-resistance filtration cycles.

• Leak-Safe Peripheral Sealing: The leading mechanical compression head is calibrated to match the internal radius tolerances of Zymo Syringe Filter housings, creating a secure wipe-down seal that keeps unclarified fluids securely beneath the plunger face.

Key Benefits and Applications

• Bacterial Neutralized Lysate Clarification: Provides the critical manual driving force needed to route up to 60 mL of neutralized bacterial cell lysate through the filtration membrane in one continuous, 20-second motion.

• Midiprep/Maxiprep Component Reordering: Serves as an economical, targeted replenishment consumable for laboratories that run through plungers faster than extraction buffers, minimizing complete kit repurchasing overhead.

• Transfection-Ready Sample Processing: Supports the fast purification pipeline of transfection-grade, vaccine-grade, and EndoZero plasmid DNA matrices by preventing environmental dust carryover.

• Aerosol Containment Protection: The flush peripheral seal restricts hazardous aerosol spray or fluid bypass drift from blowing out the top opening, keeping bench spaces clean and technicians protected.
