Ready-to-use Solution for Protein Extraction from E. coli / Yeast Cells

　1 is a ready-to-use solution for protein extraction from cultured Escherichia coli (E. coli) / yeast cells. By suspending cells in 1 and then centrifuging, the supernatant containing proteins can be obtained. Extracted protein can be used in downstream applications such as electrophoresis and western blotting.

Application example

[Protein extraction]

1. Centrifuge E. coli at 5000 × g and yeast at 3000 × g for 10 minutes.
2. Remove as much medium as possible from the pellet.
3. Resuspend pellet in 1. Use 2-4 mL buffer per gram of pellet and mix at room temperature for 10 minutes.
4. Centrifuge E. coli at 15000 × g and yeast at 14000 × g for 10 minutes and collect lysate fraction.
