Fast and Efficient Protein Extraction in MicroTubes Using PCT μPestles

Fast and Efficient Protein Extraction in MicroTubes Using PCT μPestles

Introduction
Homogenization and extraction from small tissue samples (<5.0 mg) requires scaled-down protocols that minimize sample dilution and loss. Here we describe a simple and rapid method for the efficient extraction of protein from small solid tissue samples using pressure cycling technology (PCT) and PCT μPestles.
