Centrifugation <strong>Purification</strong> Workflow<br />

Separating Soluble from Insoluble Induced Cell Fractions <strong>and</strong> Preparation of SDS-PAGE Samples<br />

Separate soluble from insoluble cell<br />

lysate components. Centrifuge for 20<br />

minutes at 16,000 x g (thaw first if<br />

necessary).<br />

Label 2 ml microcentrifuge tube Soluble<br />

fraction with your initials.<br />

The supernatant contains the soluble<br />

fraction, <strong>and</strong> the pellet contains the<br />

insoluble fraction. Gently pour the<br />

supernatant into the tube labeled soluble<br />

fraction. Relabel the Lysed cells tube<br />

Insoluble fraction.<br />

Add 1 ml Lysis buffer 2 to the insoluble<br />

fraction tube.<br />

The insoluble pellet contains a large quantity of genomic<br />

DNA, making it viscous <strong>and</strong> difficult to resuspend. Using a<br />

syringe with 22 gauge needle, repeatedly pull the solution<br />

through the syringe to shear the pellet <strong>and</strong> decrease the<br />

viscosity.<br />

Label two clean 1.5 ml screwcap microcentrifuge tubes<br />

Soluble PAGE <strong>and</strong> Insoluble PAGE. Take a 50 µl aliquot<br />

from each fraction Soluble fraction <strong>and</strong> Insoluble fraction<br />

<strong>and</strong> prepare for SDS-PAGE per manual instructions<br />

Store the SDS-PAGE samples, Soluble <strong>and</strong> Insoluble<br />

fractions at –20°C until ready for further steps.<br />
