Variation of Homogenization Time to Optimize Yield and Quality of DNA Extraction from S. cerevisiae Suspension

Variation of Homogenization Time to Optimize Yield and Quality of DNA Extraction from S. cerevisiae Suspension

19 May 2016

S. cerevisiae, which serves as a model organism in a various numbers of laboratories, is characterize by a stable cell structure that required both mechanical disruption and enzymatic lysis to achieve the best results for DNA extraction. This application note demonstrates the complete homogenization and DNA extraction of a sample of S. cerevisae using the SpeedMill PLUS in combination with innuSPEED Bacteria/Fungi DNA Kit.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.
