Cytoplasmic Lysis Buffer, 10x: - (Part No. 90497) One vial containing 10mL of a concentrated lysis buffer. Dilute to a 1x in deionized water.

Nuclear Extraction Buffer: - (Part No. 90498) One vial containing 50mL of a 1x nuclear extraction buffer.

PBS Packets: - (Part No. 60093) Two pouches containing enough dry reagent to prepare 1 liter of a 1x PBS solution per pouch. Dilute packet in deionized water.

DTT, 1M: - (Part No. 90499) One vial containing 100 μL of 1M Dithiothreitol. Prior to use, dilute to a final concentration of 0.5mM (1:2000) in 1x Cytoplasmic Lysis Buffer and 1x Nuclear Extraction Buffer.

Protease Inhibitor Cocktail: - (Part No. 90492) One vial containing 100μL of protease inhibitors in DMSO for use with mammalian cell and tissue extract buffers. A mixture of protease inhibitors with broad specificity for the inhibition of serine, cysteine and aspartic acid proteases and aminopeptidases. Contains 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzenesulfonyl fluoride (AEBSF), pepstatin A, E-64, bestatin, leupeptin, and aprotinin. Contains no metal chelators (e.g. EDTA, EGTA). Prior to use, dilute 1/1000 in 1x Cytoplasmic Lysis Buffer and 1x Nuclear Extraction Buffer.

Detergent, 10%: - (Part No. 90500) One vial containing 3mL of 10% IGEPAL CA-630 (detergent). Cytoplasmic Lysis Buffer and Nuclear Extraction Buffer already contain detergent, however, under certain conditions, more detergent may be required - refer to Extraction Procedure.

The Nuclear Extraction Kit is shipped and stored at -20ºC.

·Cytoplasmic Lysis Buffer (10x), Nuclear Extraction Buffer (1x), 10% Detergent, and the PBS Packets can be stored at 2-8ºC.
