This reagent uses a mild detergent lysis procedure to efficiently release functionally active solubilised proteins.

• Suitable for use in a diverse range of situations
• Extracts more than twice as much protein as glass bead methods
• Eliminates the physical problems associated with traditional glass bead lysis
• Effective for many different organisms, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria

Y-PER reagent have been optimised to encompass a broad array of applications ranging from fusion-tagged protein purification to microplate-compatible enzyme assays, and genomic and plasmid DNA extraction from yeast. Also it has been used to isolate yeast killer virus double - stranded RNA from killer strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
