S 220 ultrasonic processor

Manufactured by Covaris
Sourced in United States

The Covaris S-220 Ultrasonic Processor is a laboratory instrument designed to perform controlled acoustic energy-based processing of samples. The device utilizes ultrasonic power to uniformly disrupt, extract, or homogenize a wide range of sample types. The core function of the S-220 is to provide precise, efficient, and reproducible sample preparation for various analytical and preparative applications.

Whole-cell lysates were generated by incubating cells in RIPA buffer for 30 min on ice, followed by sonication using a Covaris S-220 Ultrasonic Processor for 5 min. Lysates were separated in an 8% polyacrylamide gel and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore) using an OWL semi-dry transfer apparatus. Membranes were blocked using 1% Blotting Grade Blocker Non-Fat Dry Milk (Bio-Rad) and incubated overnight at 4°C with the following primary antibodies: a rabbit polyclonal RUNX1 (Cell Signaling #4334, 1:1,000); a goat polyclonal to POU5F1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology #sc-8628, 1:1,000); a rabbit polyclonal to CDK2 (M2) (Santa Cruz #sc-163, 1:2,000); a mouse monoclonal to GAPDH (0411) (Santa Cruz #sc-47724); a rabbit monoclonal to SMAD2 (D43B4) (Cell Signaling #5339); and a rabbit monoclonal to pSMAD2 (Ser465/467) (138D4) (Cell Signaling #3108). Secondary antibodies conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (Santa Cruz) were used for immunodetection, along with the Clarity Western ECL Substrate (Bio-Rad) on a Chemidoc XRS+ imaging system (Bio-Rad).

Sampling Fig Wasp Diversity in Asia

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
From 2006 to 2014, we sampled figs containing mature fig wasps across Southeast Asia. See Figure 1A is the map of sampling locations and Table 1 provides details. Three locations were included. One is from Hainan Island (DA) and two are from the continent (VH and SCBG) . The distances between each two sampling locations are 822 km (SCBG-VH), 498 km (SCBG-DA), and 532 km (VH-DA). In each location, figs were collected from trees 3-5 m away from each other. We chose 10-30 figs from each site and sealed them individually in fine-mesh bags under ambient temperature until the mature wasps emerge. The sp1 wasps were identified and collected, then preserved in 95% ethanol under -20 • C until DNA extraction. The DNA pool of each sample were created for all mature female wasps in a single fig by mixing extraction of genomic DNA. We finally obtained 26 samples for DNA extraction. Genomic DNA was extracted following the method outlined in a previous study (Tian et al., 2015) (link). The genomic DNA was fragmented with the S220 Ultrasonic Processor (Covaris, United States). After end repairing and phosphorylating, common adapters were ligated to the fragments for denaturing and amplifying. The prepared libraries were sequenced with the Illumina HiSeq2500 (Illumina,

Whole Cell Lysate Preparation and Western Blot Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole cell lysates were generated by incubating cells in RIPA buffer for 30 minutes on ice, followed by sonication using a Covaris S-220 Ultrasonic Processor for 5 minutes. Lysates were separated in a 12% polyacrylamide gel and transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, www.emdmillipore.com) using an OWL semi-dry transfer apparatus. Membranes were blocked using 1% Blotting Grade Blocker Non-Fat Dry Milk (Bio-Rad) and incubated overnight at 4°C with the following primary antibodies: a rabbit polyclonal WEE1 (Cell Signaling #4936, 1:1000); a rabbit polyclonal to CDK1(phospho Y15) (Abcam ab47594, 1:1000); a mouse monoclonal to CDK1/CDC2 p34(17) (Santa Cruz sc-54, 1:1000); a rabbit polyclonal to CDK2 (M2) (Santa Cruz sc-163, 1:2000); a mouse monoclonal to GAPDH (0411) (Santa Cruz sc-47724). Secondary antibodies conjugated to HRP (Santa Cruz) were used for immunodetection, along with the Clarity Western ECL Substrate (Bio-Rad) on a Chemidoc XRS+ imaging system (Bio-Rad). Relative quantification was performed using the Image Lab Software (Bio-Rad) version 5.1.

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.
