Glass Beads Cell Lysis Protocol for Protein Samples

Reagents and Materials

  • 0.1m diameter glass beads
  • Lysis Buffer
  • Overnight induced cultures
  • 1.5mL tubes

Protocol

  1. Centrifuge cells at max for 10 minutes. Discard supernatant
  2. Resuspend cells in 2mL of lysis buffer
  3. In a 1.5mL tube, add ~0.5mL of glass beads and 1mL of cells resuspended in lysis buffer
  4. Leave on ice for 5 min. Leave on BeadBeater or Vortex for 5 min. Repeat this cycle 6 times
  5. Centrifuge at max for 20 minutes
  6. Transfer supernatant (crude lysate) to a new tube and discard the glass beads
