U-Blot™ Chloroplast Isolation kit for Mucilaginous Plants

Many crop species across the plant family contain high polysaccharide and polyphenols. The hydrocolloid mucilage is a complex mucopolysaccharide typically showing high viscosity when released in solution. Homogenate of high mucopolysaccharide plant samples usually imparts a slimy consistency that is most unwanted contaminants that interfere with cell fractionation and organelle purification, such as chloroplast and nuclear isolation. This kit provides a simple, rapid, and efficient method for isolating chloroplasts from viscous plant homogenate. The protocol takes about 30 min.
