Background
Nuclear extraction is the procedure of parting the nuclear and cytoplasmic portions of the cell. The process can be beneficial in examining the molecules that specifically interact with the nucleus, such as transcription factors which bind DNA.
Effective nuclear protein extraction is a vital step in applications revolving around nuclear, epigenetic, or genetic processes. This step helps provide high-quality starting materials for the characterization of the function, structure, and interactions of the nuclear proteins as well as allowing for various downstream analyses.
What used to be done by following a non-standardized protocol of combining various standard lab ingredients has been made quick and easy with the introduction of kits like the EpiQuik™ Nuclear Extraction kit, which provides all materials necessary for the procedure and takes as little as an hour for the entire process to complete.
Principle & Procedure
The EpiQuik™ Nuclear Extraction Kit simply applies our proprietary nuclear protein isolation buffers to cell/tissues. After treatment with pre-lysis and lysis buffers, the nuclear proteins are easily extracted for immediate use or storage at proper conditions.
Starting Materials & Yield
A total of 100 standard extractions (using 10^7 cells or 20 mg tissues) can be isolated from mammalian cells or tissue samples with this kit.
Our single B-cell derived recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies have vastly improved reliability and reproducibility.
