RPMI 1640 Medium was developed at Roswell Park Memorial Institute in 1966 by Moore and his co-workers. A modification of McCoy′s 5A Medium, it was formulated to support lymphoblastoid cells in suspension culture, but it has since been shown to support a wide variety of cells that are anchorage-dependent. Originally intended to be used with a serum supplement, RPMI 1640 has been shown to support several cell lines in the absence of serum. It has also been widely used in fusion protocols and in the growth of hybrid cells. This medium is suitable for culturing human normal and neoplastic leukocytes.

Homogenization or lysis of the tissue sample in TRI reagent® dissolves RNA, DNA and protein. The addition of chloroform or 1-bromo-3-chloropropane followed by centrifugation results in the separation of the mixture into three phases: an aqueous phase containing the RNA, the interphase containing DNA, and an organic phase containing proteins. Each of the components can then be isolated after separating the phases.

Trypsin from Porcine Pancreas (Sigma)

Brand:

Sigma

Description

Product line: BioReagent

Biological source: Porcine pancreas

Specific activity: 1,000-2,000 BAEE units/mg solid

Trypsin is applicable for tissue disaggregation, due to its effective action and tolerance towards different cell types and serum-induced neutralization.[1]

For trypsin digestion of peptides, use a ratio of about 1:100 to 1:20 for trypsin:peptide. The typical use for this product is in removing adherent cells from a culture surface. The concentration of trypsin necessary to dislodge cells from their substrate is dependent primarily on the cell type and the age of the culture. Trypsins have also been used for the re-suspension of cells during cell culture, in proteomics research for digestion of proteins and in various in-gel digestionsns†. Additional applications include assessing crystallization by membrane-based techniques and in a study to determine that protein folding rates and yields can be limited by the presence of kinetic traps.
Trypsin from porcine pancreas has been used to digest chicken bones.[2] It has also been used in the isolation of luteal endothelial cells.[3][4][5]
