Product Description
Getting clean lysis from XJ Autolysis E. coli takes just the right inducer, already measured out. This concentrated 1.5 M L-arabinose solution is formulated to switch on expression of the lambda endolysin in these strains, so cells break open efficiently after a single freeze-thaw cycle without mechanical disruption or added lysis reagents.
This listing is for catalog number A2001-10: 1.5M L-Arabinose (500X Concentrated), 10 Tubes. Add the solution to your culture at 1:500 during growth; one 1 ml vial treats 500 ml of XJ Autolysis culture. Arabinose induces the endolysin gene, the enzyme accumulates inside the cells, and a freeze-thaw then releases the contents for protein or nucleic acid recovery. It is offered as a single tube or a 10-tube pack to match your culture volume. LIGHT LABS stocks the Zymo Research line, so kits, buffers and refills are always within reach.
