I am doing an SDS PAGE with LAD2 cells lysate but the total protein obtained was 0.4ug/ul when 200ul of RIPA was used to lysed 5 million cells. Sample was lysed for 45 minutes on ice. Kindly help.
How long do you seed your cells? and in what kind of cell culture plate (12-well, 6-well, or ..). Usually this amout of protein is acceptable for that amount of cells.
@Sabastian thank you for the well thought explanation. It is true my sample is viscous, I will try sonication going forward. In addition, protein determination was performed using BCA.
