Minute™ Detergent-Free Protein Extraction Kit for Microbes with Thick Cell Walls (50 Preps)

Manual & Protocol | Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

Protein extraction from cell-wall-containing microbes is a common procedure. The methods for protein extraction are usually harsh, tedious and unreliable. YD-016 provides a detergent-free, rapid and gentle way for extracting proteins from microbes with thick and strong cell walls. These microbes include yeast, filamentous fungus, gram-positive and -negative bacteria, insect eggs, microalgae and more. This kit contains optimized detergent-free and EDTA-free protein extraction buffers. The whole procedure takes less than 10 minutes and the protein yield is in the range of 2-4 mg/ml with unbiased protein representation. This kit contains a single-tube protocol and works well for both log-phase and stationary-phase microbes. The materials provided are sufficient for 50 extractions.

Kit includes:
