Description

General description

The Chloroplast Isolation Kit provides an efficient procedure for isolating intact chloroplasts from plant leaves. The procedure involves mechanical cell wall and cell membrane breakage, removal of cell debris and leaf tissue by filtration, collection of total cell chloroplast fraction by centrifugation, and separation of intact chloroplasts from broken chloroplasts using a Percoll® layer or gradient.

Application

Chloroplast Isolation Kit may be used in chloroplast organelle research to isolate intact chloroplasts from plant leaves for structural and functional studies.

Features and Benefits

• Specifically formulated buffer - Saves time using easy to follow simple and proven protocols
• Isolates intact chloroplasts - Useful for studies of such processes as carbon assimilation, electron flow and phosphorylation, metabolic transport or protein targeting
• Total organelle protein complement - Useful for functional studies, metabolic transport, proteomic profiling, and genomic applications
• Convenient format - Saves time and reduces waste

Suitability

The Chloroplast Isolation Kit has been tested for use with spinach, pea, lettuce, cabbage, mangold, and tobacco.
