CelLytic™ Express

Description

• General description: CelLytic™ Express is a non-denaturing and highly efficient protein extraction formulation for in-culture bacterial cell lysis. This proprietary powder formulation extracts 2-3 times more protein than conventional methods such as sonication. In addition, the method is fast and requires less sample manipulations, reducing proteolytic degradation and preserving protein activity. Unlike other in-culture lysis products, CelLytic™ Express is a complete formulation including lysozyme and endonuclease. The resulting lysate is completely clear of cellular debris and is immediately ready for affinity purification. CelLytic™ Express unique powder formulation adds minimal volume to the final lysate. It provides a cell lysis method with defined volume and time parameters, making it easier to validate and more convenient for production scale protocols.

• Features and Benefits: Efficient and non-denaturing in-culture protein extractionSave time by eliminating cell harvest and clarification stepsPreserve biological activity with fewer manipulationsCompatible with affinity resins and magnetic beadsIdeal for Production Scale Extraction protocols
• Preparation Note: CelLytic® Express is supplied ready-to-use. However, additional reagents may be used depending on the nature of the protein to be isolated. These include salts, protease inhibitors, and reducing agents such as dithiothreitol or 2-mercaptoethanol. The additional reagents should be added into the bacterial culture after dissolving the CelLytic™ Express, and not by adding them to the dry powder.
• Storage and Stability: This product ships on wet ice and storage at –20°C is recommended. CelLytic™ Express, as supplied, is stable for at least two years when stored properly.
