Thermo Scientific M-PER Mammalian Protein Extraction Reagent is designed to provide highly efficient total soluble protein extraction from cultured mammalian cells.
Features of M-PER Mammalian Protein Extraction Reagent:
Product Details
The complete cell lysis reagent contains a mild, nondenaturing detergent that dissolves cell membranes to extract and solubilize total protein from most cellular compartments. Extraction is accomplished in only 5 minutes and requires little or no additional mechanical disruption. M-PER reagent is formulated for minimal interference with downstream biological applications. The reagent has been validated for use with several cell lines, including primary, suspension and adherent cell types; the resulting cell lysates are compatible with many downstream assays including immunoassays, enzyme assays and a variety of common reporter assays.
Cellular protein extraction—cell lysis to release the proteins of interest—is a key first step in many proteomics analysis procedures. M-PER reagent is designed to efficiently extract soluble protein from a variety of cell types, including primary cells and cells grown in suspension or adherent culture conditions. Performance of M-PER reagent was evaluated for yields of both total protein and specific target proteins from the various cellular compartments. Additionally, because M-PER reagent is formulated with dialyzable components that are devoid of primary amines, it is more compatible with certain downstream applications, such as luciferase, beta-galactosidase, and CAT assays, than other protein extraction methods.

Protein extraction is usually the first key step in any proteomics analysis procedure, and the cells must first be lysed to open the cell and release the proteins of interest. Several methods are commonly used to physically lyse cells, including mechanical disruption, liquid homogenization, sonication, freeze/thaw cycles and manual grinding.
