Membrane Protein Extraction Kit

What it means: 12 extraction solutions — how many different conditions the product lets you test.

Why it matters:

• Different proteins need different conditions, so a screen improves the chance of finding one that works.
• Testing several conditions side by side saves time compared with testing them one by one.
• The best condition from a screen can then be scaled up for preparative work.
• Running all conditions with the same sample makes the results directly comparable.
• Recording the condition number lets you reorder exactly the condition that worked.
• Screening also shows which conditions do not work, which narrows later optimization.
• A broader screen is most useful when little is known about how a protein behaves.

For this product: The kit contains 12 extraction solutions (#1–#12), each based on a different detergent or lipid analog.

Tip: Note the number of the best solution so you can order it in the 40 ml size for scale-up.

What it means: 0.5 ml or 5 ml — how much product comes in one unit.

Why it matters:

• Pack size helps you plan how many experiments one order covers.
• It lets you set aside material for repeats and controls from the same lot.
• Knowing the amount helps you schedule reorders before you run out.
• It makes it easy to check the shipment against the order on arrival.
• Smaller sizes suit pilot work, while larger sizes cover a full study.
• The amount per unit also decides how often a vial is opened and handled.
• Ordering the right size reduces waste from material that is not used in time.

For this product: Choose 0.5 ml or 5 ml of each solution: Kit has 0.5 ml and Kit Plus has 5 ml of each of the 12 solutions.

Tip: Choose Kit Plus when you plan a middle-scale preparation after the screen.

What it means: Frozen — how the product is shipped.

Why it matters:

• The shipping condition tells you what to expect when the package arrives.
• Unpacking promptly lets you check the contents against the order.
• Checking the package on arrival helps you spot transport problems early.
• Storage conditions can differ from shipping conditions, so confirm them before the package arrives.
• Recording the arrival date and condition helps if questions come up later.
• Arranging for someone to receive the package avoids delays when it arrives.
• The shipping condition is chosen to keep the product as described during transport.

For this product: Ships frozen; unpack it promptly on arrival. Please contact us to confirm storage conditions.

Tip: Open and check the package on arrival, and contact us right away if anything is damaged or missing.
