  • Transfer 50 µL of suspension into new Eppendorf tubes and combine with 50ul of 2xTruSep sample buffer.
  • Shear the cells using a Hamilton syringe.
  • Centrifuge the preparation for 3minutes @ 13,000 rpm.
  • Load 20 µL of the supernatant into gel.
  • Conduct electrophoresis at a constant voltage (200V) for 1 hour.
  • Coommassie Stain for ~30 minutes.
