MtoZ Biolabs' Algal Protein Extraction Kit is tailored for the isolation of proteins from algal whose cell walls are rigid and rich in mucopolysaccharides and pigments. The kit enables efficient wall disruption and deep impurity removal, supporting high-quality algal protein extraction for functional and biochemical research.
Product Overview
Algal cells possess rigid cell walls, abundant mucilaginous polysaccharides, and high pigment content, all of which pose substantial challenges to efficient protein extraction.
1. Rigid Cell Walls Resist Lysis
The multi-layered cellulose and complex polysaccharide matrix make conventional physical or chemical lysis insufficient for effective disruption, resulting in low protein release efficiency.
2. High Polysaccharide Content Leads to Viscous, Gel-Like Samples
Polysaccharides form a hydrogel-like network that severely hinders protein solubilization, clarification, and downstream separation performance.
3. Pigments and Secondary Metabolites Cause Interference
Chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments readily co-precipitate with proteins, increasing background noise and compromising mass spectrometry detection and quantitative reliability.
4. Uneven Protein Distribution and Susceptibility to Degradation
Some algal species contain potent endogenous proteases that can trigger rapid protein degradation during extraction workflows.
Advantages
✅ Robust
MtoZ Biolabs' Algal Protein Extraction Kit combines mechanical and chemical lysis strategies to significantly improve protein release efficiency.
✅ Optimized
Rapidly reduces sample viscosity caused by abundant polysaccharides and increases the ratio of soluble proteins.
✅ Efficient
Specialized adsorbents and clarification systems effectively remove pigments and metabolic impurities, yielding cleaner protein solutions.
✅ Compatible
The extracted proteins can be directly applied to SDS-PAGE, Western blot, and LC-MS/MS analyses.
