Lysates And Extracts

Cell lysates and extracts are commercially available from a number of manufacturers for use in biological research. Whole cell lysates are generally extracted from stable cell lines, whereas tissue lysates are collected from tissues or organs in human patient samples, animals, and even plants. Among their uses, lysates and extracts are useful as controls for protein-based applications, such as Western blotting and other immunoassays. Tissue lysates may also be useful materials in the study of various disease states. Browse our catalog to find lysate and extract products across different host species and compare between different suppliers. Lysates are generally partially purified, with cell debris removed leaving behind the total protein in liquid or lyophilized formats. However, it is recommended to refer to the supplier's descriptions for more information on the source, purification method, and intended applications.
