Cell disruption

LP to disrupt E. coli cells by sonification and separate supernatant and pellet

material: PMSF, abs. ethanol, Lysis buffer
duration: ~ 2h with 10 samples


  • Prepare 200 µL 500 mM PMSF (phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride) (17.4 mg PMSF + 200 µL abs. ethanol)
  • resuspend frozen pellets in 10 mL Lysis buffer (as good as possible)
  • Disrupt cells by 5 min sonication on Bandelin sonoplus with 60 % sonification frequency and 50-70 % power
  • add 20 µL PMSF
  • centrifuge 30 min @ 10000 g 4°C
  • separate supernatant
  • centrifuge supernatánt 20 min @ 16000 g 4°C
