Separating Soluble from Insoluble Induced Cell Fractions <strong>and</strong> Preparation of SDS-PAGE Samples<br />
Separate soluble from insoluble cell lysate<br />
components. Transfer thawed, lysed cells to a<br />
30–50 ml centrifuge tube. Balance centrifuge <strong>and</strong><br />
centrifuge for 20 minutes at 16,000 x g.<br />
Label 50 ml sterile conical tube Soluble fraction with<br />
your initials.<br />
The supernatant contains the soluble fraction,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the pellet contains the insoluble fraction.<br />
Gently pour the supernatant into tube labeled<br />
Soluble fraction. Relabel the Lysed Cells tube<br />

fraction<br />
The insoluble pellet contains a large quantity of genomic DNA,<br />
making it viscous <strong>and</strong> difficult to resuspend. Using a syringe<br />
with 22 gauge needle, repeatedly pull the solution through the<br />
syringe to shear the pellet <strong>and</strong> decrease the viscosity.<br />
Label two clean 1.5 ml screwcap microcentrifuge tubes<br />
Soluble PAGE <strong>and</strong> Insoluble PAGE. Take a 50 µl aliquot from<br />
each fraction Soluble fraction <strong>and</strong> Insoluble fraction <strong>and</strong><br />
prepare for SDS-PAGE per instruction manual.<br />
Store the SDS-PAGE samples, Soluble <strong>and</strong> Insoluble fractions<br />
at –20°C until ready for further steps.<br />
