The kit is intended for the isolation of intact mitochondria, so most of the isolated mitochondria will contain intact inner and outer membranes. While trace amounts of mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) may co-purify during the process, the protocol is not optimized to enrich or preserve MAMs. Please see the Product Information Sheet at the link below for further details.

Where is the step to get cytosol?
1 answer-
The kit is intended for the isolation of intact mitochondria. It was not developed for cytoplasma collection. Nevertheless, reviewing the protocol, it can be assumed that the cytoplasmic fraction should be in the supernatant after the second centrifugation (point 8 of the Preparation of mitochondria from soft tissues protocol). Please keep in mind that this is not tested for suitability for cytoplasmic fraction.
Please see product MIT1000 Mitochondria/Cytosol Fractionation Kit for efficient isolation of intact mitochondria from cultured cells. This kit can be used for tissue samples as long as the tissue is first homogenized into a single cell suspension. It may be helpful to use the same protocol that is recommended for cells following homogenization of the tissue into a single cell suspension in the supplied Isotonic Mitochondrial Buffer containing protease inhibitors, then follow the kits protocol for cells: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/product/mm/mit1000.

When using Product MITOISO2, Mitochondria Isolation Kit, how can I store my isolated mitochondria?
1 answer-
Please see below for information on how best to store your isolated mitochondria using the MITOISO2 kit:If only interested in the proteins isolated from mitochondria, storage at -20 deg C is recommended. If intact mitochondria are required, storage at 4 deg C is recommended. These intact mitochondria are stable after refrigeration for up to 24 hours.
