Whole Cell Lysis Reagents & Enhancers
Isolation and purification of proteins requires disruption of cells or tissue samples and extraction of the relevant protein fraction. This step is critical as processing methods can affect the target protein’s integrity and activity, or otherwise expose it to degradative conditions. A variety of reagents and enzymes for cell lysis and protein extraction provide an array of options tailored for specific cell types and application needs.

RIPA buffer
Radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer is used for rapid cell lysis and solubilization of proteins from both adherent and suspension cultured mammalian cells. RIPA buffer enables efficient cell lysis and protein solubilization while avoiding protein degradation and interference with immunoreactivity and biological activity. RIPA buffer also minimizes non-specific protein binding interactions to ensure low background in immunoprecipitation and molecular pull-down assays.

Enhancers: Extraction enzymes and other reagents
- rLysozyme™ solution: Enzymatically cleaves bonds in the peptidoglycan layer of bacteria to break through the cell wall for lysis or spheroplast prep, especially effective against gram positive species
- Benzonase® nuclease: degrades all types of nucleic acid for more efficient protein extraction, to reduce viscosity and assay interference allowing for accurate sample handling and faster chromatography
- Lysonase™ bio-processing reagent: convenient mixture of rLysozyme™ solution and Benzonase® nuclease minimizes pipetting steps
- Stabilyser™ reagent: stabilizes functional protein and maintains nucleic acid integrity; prevents degradation during tissue lysis and storage
- Lyticase enzyme: enzymatically cleaves yeast cell wall β-glucan layers allowing for access to cell contents. Digestion of the outer layer helps prepare spheroplasts for lysis or transformation
