How many cells can be used with the Qproteome Mitochondria Isolation Kit, and how much mitochondrial protein can be expected?

The Qproteome Mitochondria Isolation Kit can be used with 5 x 10⁶ to 2 x 10⁷ cells. Depending on the cell line, the yield from a single fractionation procedure is 20–80 µg protein from 5 x 10⁶ cells.

Protein can be isolated from the mitochondria using, e.g. the QProteome Mammalian Protein Prep Kit, or home-made lysis buffers.
