Can anyone please suggest to me a method for isolating cell membranes?

03 March 2016 1 7K Report

I am working with cell lines. As part of my work, I wish to isolate the membranes of cells. I wish to know if there is any simple method for cell membrane isolation which can be done without using kits.

I think that you should contact Erik Goormaghtigh who is an expert in this field and who is registered on RG.

Otherwise Guy Vandenbussche. However, I do not know whether Guy is registered on RG. If not, send me a message and I will provide you with his e-mail.

Best regards

Robert
