Title: Laboratory practicals: Cellular fractionation
Course: Biochemistry > Section: Week 2 - Unit 1_3: The Cytoskeleton

Purpose:

To separate cellular organelles by a technique called differential centrifugation

The process of breaking open cells in an isotonic buffer is homogenization and the subsequent isolation of organelles is cellular fractionation.

Over to you:

In this experiment, cellular fractionation of a homogenized goat or beef liver will be accomplished via a technique called differential centrifugation.

Activity:

This experiment will be done according the lab manual.
