Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 A lysis buffer is a buffer solution used for the purpose of lysis lysing cells for use in molecular biology experiments that analyze the compounds of the cells e.g. western blot . There are many different kind of lysis buffer that one can apply, depending on what analysis the cell lysate will be used for e.g. red blood cell lysis buffer. Generally, lysis buffers contain tris HCl , EDTA , EGTA chemical EGTA , Sodium dodecyl sulfate SDS , deoxycholate , Triton X 100 tritonX and or NP 40 . In some cases the buffer may also contain NaCl 150 mM . In studies like DNA fingerprinting the lysis buffer is used for DNA isolation. Dish soap can be used in a pinch to break down the cell and nuclear membranes, allowing the DNA to be released. Other such lysis buffers include the proprietary Qiagen product Buffer P2 .

Alkaline lysis is a method used in molecular biology to Plasmid preparation isolate plasmid DNA from relatively small volumes of bacteria. Method Bacteria containing the plasmid of interest are first Cell culture cultured , then a sample is Centrifugation centrifuged in order to concentrate cellular material including DNA into a pellet at the bottom of the containing vessel. The supernatant is discarded, and the pellet is then suspended in an EDTA containing physiological Buffer solution buffer . The purpose of the EDTA is to chelate divalent metal cations such as Magnesium Mg sup 2 sup and Calcium Ca sup 2 sup , which are required for the function of DNA degrading enzymes Deoxyribonuclease DNAses and also serve to stabilise the DNA phosphate backbone. Separately, a strong alkaline solution consisting of the detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate C sub 12 sub H sub 25 sub SO sub 4 sub Na and a strong base such as sodium hydroxide NaOH is prepared and then added. The resulting mixture is left on ice for a few minutes. During this time, the detergent disrupts the cells membranes and allows the alkali into contact with both the Circular bacterial chromosome chromosomal and plasmid DNA, which it denatures. Finally, potassium acetate is added. This acidifies the solution and allows the renaturing of plasmid DNA, but not chromosomal DNA, which is precipitated out of solution. Another function of the potassium is to cause the precipitation of potassium dodecyl sulfate and thus removal of the detergent. A final centrifugation is carried out, and this time the pellet contains only debris and can be discarded. The plasmid containing supernatant is carefully removed and used in further analysis, such as Agarose gel electrophoresis gel electrophoresis . Other uses Also, alkaline lysis is sometimes used to extract plant genetic material.

The euglobulin lysis time ELT is a test that measures overall fibrinolysis . The test is performed by mixing citrated platelet poor Blood plasma plasma with acid in a glass test tube. This acidification causes the precipitation of certain clotting factors in a complex called the euglobulin fraction . The euglobulin fraction contains the important fibrinolytic factors fibrinogen , PAI 1 , tissue plasminogen activator tPA , plasminogen , and to a lesser extent alpha 2 antiplasmin . The euglobulin fraction also contains factor VIII . After precipitation, the euglobulin fraction is resuspended in a borate solution. Clotting is then activated by the addition of calcium chloride at 37 C. Historically, subsequent amount of fibrinolysis was determined by eye, by observing the clot within the test tube at ten minute intervals until complete lysis had occurred. ref cite paper first E. last Kowalski author E.
