Company:

Thermo Scientific

Product Name:

Sorvall™ Legend™ Micro 21RMicrocentrifuge

Catalog Number:

75002430

Whole cell extract was prepared from mouse cell lines. For this, growth factor treated or untreated cells were lysed in buffer and crude extract was centrifuged in a Sorvall micro centrifuge machine to pellet insoluble cellular debris. Supernatant collected was resolved in 10% SDS-PAGE.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Micro centrifugation of biological samples likes protein, lipids, and nucleic acids

Starting Material

Whole cell extract prepared in RIPA buffer, 1.5 ml centrifuge tube, micropipette, tips etc.

Protocol Overview

Cell culture was grown, serum starved and treated with specific growth factor. RIPA buffer was used to lyse cells, incubated in rocking platform for 15 min and centrifuged in Sorvall™ Legend™ Micro 21RMicrocentrifuge machine at 12000xg for 10 min maintaining temperature 4 0C. After centrifugation, supernatant was collected and proteins were estimated and resolved in 10% SDS-PAGE.

Tips

Always use rotor cover to avoid spillage and cross contaminations of samples.

Results Summary

Upon centrifugation of crude cell lysate at 12000xg for 10 minutes, gives a concentrated palate of insoluble cellular debris. The supernatants were clear and easy to transfer in a fresh tube.

Features Summary

Rapid and smooth acceleration up to 20000xg in 10 sec, Refrigerated version, on line editing of programs like speed, acceleration, time, small and handy to use
