Abstract
Following this recipe, you will obtain 1L of S30, S30A and S30B Buffers

S30 Buffer is a standard solution to wash cell pellets previous to lysis. Likewise, it is used during the cell lysis.

NOTE :

The protocol described here is an adaptation from these papers:

1. S30 Buffer
1. S30 Buffer
To prepare S30 buffer, following compounds have to be ready-to-use:

  • Tris-Acetate
  • Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate
  • Potassium acetate
  • 1M DTT
  • 5M KOH
1. 1 Prepare for autoclaving

  • Volumes indicated are sufficient for 1 L of S30 buffer



Compound, Sum FormulaMW [g/mol]Required amount [g or mL]Concentration [mM]
Tris-Acetate 181.19 1.81g10
Magnesium acetate214.45 3.0g14
Potassium acetate98.145.89g60
Preparation: Dissolve in demi-H2O, fill up to 1000 ml, autoclave 15 min at 121°C
*adjust to pH=8.2 with 5M KOH (approx. 900µL)

  • Before useadd 2 mL of 1 M DTT(2mM, final concentration)

  • For dialysis, S30 buffer is prepared at 5mM Tris-Acetate and 1mM DTT. Rest of the components remain at same concentrations.

  • To prepareTBST Buffer (pH=7.6), dissolve 1 tablet of Tris buffered saline with Tween 20 in 500mL of water and autoclave 15 min at 121°C. Catalogue Number: 91414-10TAB SIGMA.

  • 1:1AceticAcid
  • 1M DTT

2.1 Prepare for autoclaving

  • Volumes indicated are sufficient for 1 L of S30 Buffer A and S30 Buffer B
