Sample Preparation Reagents & Accessories

Cell lysis buffers and sample prep reagents for reproducible protein and nucleic acid extraction

Downstream results depend on the lysis step that precedes your work, whether you are preparing samples for western blot, immunoprecipitation, proteomics, or nucleic acid extraction. The chemistry needs to break cells open completely while protecting your target molecules, which means controlling pH, detergent concentration, and inhibitor content for protein work and inactivating RNases and DNases at the moment of lysis for nucleic acid work. Accessory reagents extend the performance of standard lysis buffers, including co-precipitation carrier reagents that improve recovery of low-abundance nucleic acids by increasing pellet size during ethanol precipitation. Protein extraction reagents formulated for direct use with fresh or frozen tissue simplify homogenisation steps.

Pick by end application.

1. Lysis. Match buffer chemistry to your downstream assay.
2. Inhibitors. Protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktails are pre-mixed for convenience. RNase inhibitors essential for RNA work.
3. Pack size. For long-running studies lot-locked supply matters.
4. Lot consistency. For consistent baselines lock to specific lots.
