sucrose density gradient centrifugation
this video is provided by creative
biomart
the content of this video is divided
into two parts sanctification types and
sucrose that's the gradient
centrifugation we will first briefly
introduce the centrifugation types and
then briefly explain the operation
process of sucrose density gradient
centrifugation
let's start with the first part of this
video centrifugation types this section
mainly introduces the information on
differential centrifugation rays on all
centrifugation and iso picnic
centrifugation
there are two common centrifugation
methods differential centrifugation and
density gradient centrifugation density
gradient centrifugation can be further
divided into rate solo and iso picnic
centrifugation differential segregation
is simple it performs at different
centrifugal speeds to separate particles
with different sedimentation
coefficients density gradient
centrifugation is more complicated it's
necessary to add the simple two
gradients to achieve the separation of
different particles after centrifugation
here we'll give a brief introduction on
differential rate sono and iso picnic
centrifugation z' differential
centrifugation gradually increases the
centrifugal speed to perform
centrifugation so that particles with
different sedimentation coefficients can
be separated under different speed and
time differential centrifugation is
suitable for separating particles with
large differences in sedimentation
coefficients first obtain particles with
larger particle size and density and
appropriate centrifugal force and time
and then collect the supernatant and
accelerate a centrifugal speed to obtain
smaller and lighter particles
differential centrifugation has a
dispatch of uneven sedimentation and it
needs to be resuspended andrey
centrifuge for several times to obtain
relatively pure particles rate so non
centrifugation also relies on a
difference of sedimentation coefficients
of particles in the samples but the
requirement for the difference amount
particles for trays ono is lower than
that for differential segregation under
a certain centrifugal force particles
with different imitation coefficients
settle at different speeds in the
density gradient solutions and finally
form bands and different positions of
the gradients for trays donal
centrifugation the maximum density of
the gradients is generally lower than
the density of the sample so the bands
of samples are formed during the
sedimentation process if the lens of
time is too long
particles will settle to the bottom so
the control of centrifugal time is very
important here the gradient solution
used in rate so no segregation generally
needs to have the characteristics such
as good chemical stability low
permeability high fusion easy separation
and low cost for example like sucrose
and glycerol rate zonal centrifugation
is generally used to separate particles
of similar density and different
molecular weight such as proteins I so
picnic centrifugation separates
particles by using differences in their
density this method often uses cesium
chloride as gradient for South
Floridians the sample mixed with the
gradients and an under action of
centrifugal force the particles with low
density float up and high density settle
down until all the particles move to the
position of the gradient with the same
density the particles formed several
bands in different positions according
to the difference in density I so
picnics gentrification has nothing to do
with the shape or size of the sample
particles but is closely related to the
density of the samples the maximum
density of the gradients is greater than
that of the samples so the samples were
not precipitate to the bottom even after
a long centrifugal time length ISIL
picnic centrifugation is often used to
separate particles with similar
molecular weight but different densities
such as nucleic acid and organelles
next we will move on to the introduction
of the operation process of sucrose
density gradient centrifugation sucrose
is a solution commonly used in density
gradient centrifugation this method
mainly includes the following steps
gradient preparation centrifugation
separation and illusion
gradient preparation is the key step in
sucrose density gradient centrifugation
solution with 66 percent sucrose has low
water content and can effectively
inhibit the growth of bacteria so it can
be stored and definitely at 4 degrees
Celsius
therefore 66 percent sucrose solution is
prepared first and then can be diluted
to other desired concentrations to
obtain better experimental results the
sucrose solution needs to be filtered
and a refractometer is used to verify
the sucrose concentration when using
sucrose density gradient centrifugation
to separate protein complex protein ace
inhibitors need to be added and other
types of compounds should be added at
the same time according to the enzymatic
activities that need to be inhibited or
preserved after the sucrose solutions of
different concentrations are prepared
the gradients are made by adding a low
concentration sucrose solutions first
before adding the higher concentrations
for example if you need to prepare a 10%
to 40% gradients first add 10% and then
add 20% 30% and 40% solutions
successfully it should be noted that
when adding the higher concentration of
sucrose solution the tip of a pipette
should be placed in the bottom of
centrifugal tubes taking care not to
disturb the interface between the layers
in addition try to use a cold solution
to prepare the gradients and the
prepared gradients should be used as
soon as possible to avoid premature
diffusion of the gradient layers
gradient preparation can also be
performed with the help of gradient
forming instruments and accompanying
manuals
and after the gradients are prepared
carefully at the simple solution to the
top of the gradients if the density of
the simple solution is close to the
density of one gradient you can mix the
sample with the gradient solution before
gradient preparation
moreover wait to centrifuge tubes twist
the sample before centrifugation to make
sure the weight are balanced due to the
difference between the centrifuge and a
rotor used in each experiment a pre
experiment is required to determine the
centrifuge length of time to ensure that
the sample does not settle to the bottom
after centrifugation in addition it's
better to measure the sample
concentration because it may affect the
resolution of the bends after
centrifugation you can see the samples
in the gradients are separated into
different bands according to the
difference of sedimentation coefficients
after centrifugation particles obtained
from different bands need to be further
separated and purified separation can be
done in two ways different components
can be separated and collected from the
bottom up with the aid of instrument
like a gradient fractionator or they can
be separated and collected from the top
down with a pipette after separation
step the fraction obtained is a mixture
of sucrose solution and the particles we
need so illusion is required to further
purify the fraction illusion should be
performed according to the
characteristics of the particles we need
such as proteins
