Coulter ultracentrifuge

Manufactured by Beckman Coulter
Sourced in United States

The Coulter ultracentrifuge is a high-speed centrifuge designed for the separation and analysis of particles, cells, and macromolecules. It utilizes a rotor that can reach speeds up to 100,000 revolutions per minute, generating high centrifugal forces necessary for the separation of complex biological samples.

Cellular Fractionation of H. pylori

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cellular fractionation of the wild‐type H. pylori cells was performed as described earlier 14 (link). Briefly, bacterial cell extract was centrifuged at 148 000 g in SW‐55 rotor (Beckman coulter ultracentrifuge, Irving, TX, USA) at 4 °C for 1 h, the supernatant was recovered as cytoplasmic/periplasmic fraction (C/P) and the resulting pellet was recovered as total membrane (TM). Volume of C/P was measured and TM was resuspended in the same volume of PBS. Equal volume of each sample was mixed with 2X‐SDS sample buffer, separated in SDS/PAGE, and subjected to western blotting using an appropriate antibody.

Lipid Raft Isolation and Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were treated with 5 ng/mL IL-1β or PBS for 30 min and lysed in cell lysis buffer (CST) containing 1 mM PMSF. An identical amount of protein from each sample was mixed with 90% sucrose in MES buffer (6 mL final volume, sucrose concentration 51.7–58.7%) and transferred to a Beckman ultracentrifuge tube. Four milliliters of 35% sucrose followed by 3 mL of 5% sucrose were overlaid, the samples were spun in a Beckman Coulter ultracentrifuge (39,000 rpm; approximately 180,000 × g in a SW40Ti rotor, 20 h), and 26 fractions were collected from the top of the gradient. For the detection of the lipid raft fractions, all fractions were dot-blotted with HRP-labeled cholera toxin B (Sigma-Aldrich) to detect Ganglioside GM1.

Cell Fractionation and Membrane Analysis

Hp cells were grown on BHI agar plates, collected, washed twice with PBS and re-suspended in 500 μl of 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0. Cell fractionation was performed as described earlier [41 (link)]. Briefly, re-suspended cells were sonicated, unbroken cells and debris were removed by centrifugation at 8000 X g for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant was centrifuged at 148,000 X g for 1 hr at 4°C in a SW-55 rotor, Beckman coulter ultracentrifuge. The supernatant was a mixture of cytoplasmic/periplasmic fractions (C/P), and the pellet was considered to be the total membrane fraction (TM). Fractionated samples were dissolved in 2X SDS sample buffer, boiled and subjected to SDS-PAGE, followed by Western blotting using appropriate antibodies.

Density Gradient Isolation of Gas6

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
100ul HAdV-5C (1.24 × 1011 VP) or VSV control was incubated either alone or together with 2 μg Gas6 for 30 min at room temperature prior to being layered on top of a step gradient composed of 20%: 40%: 80% Histodenz diluted in HEPES buffer [25 mM HEPES, 130 mM NaCl, 1 mM mgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2]. Gradient containing, SW60 tubes were spun at 100,000 × g (30,000 RPM) for 2 h in Beckman coulter ultra-centrifuge. 500μl fractions were collected and assessed for the presence of Gas6 with goat anti-Gas6 antibody (R&D systems, AF885) and donkey anti-goat HRP (R&D systems, HAF109). Pre-spin lanes represent 1:10 of the inoculum ran through the gradient and post-spin lanes represent 1:10 of the inoculum recovered.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
