FluxMPS™ PVP Protein Extraction Buffer
An MPS-grade, Tris-based protein extraction system built for polyphenol- and pigment-rich plant tissues. Solution A pairs 1% PVP-40 with 5 mM TCEP-HCl for stable, thiol-protected protein isolation, and is supplied with a separate 100X protease inhibitor cocktail (Solution B) for flexible, protocol-specific use.
- Two-component kit: Solution A extraction buffer (100 mL) plus Solution B, a 100X protease inhibitor cocktail (1 mL).
- PVP-fortified formulation (1% PVP-40) binds polyphenols and pigments to reduce protein crosslinking and assay interference in difficult plant tissues.
- TCEP-HCl (5 mM) provides a stable, thiol-free reducing environment that protects cysteine residues and limits oxidative protein damage.
- Tris (50 mM) and sodium chloride (150 mM) create a physiological-like base that supports protein solubility and native structure.
- Single-stage 0.1 µm filtration for clean, low-particulate reagent quality.

Engineered where standard extraction buffers fail
Conventional, single-purpose extraction buffers leave polyphenols, pigments, and oxidized cysteines to interfere with downstream protein analysis. PVP Protein Extraction Buffer combines a polyphenol-binding base, a stable reducing agent, and single-stage 0.1 µm filtration in one ISO 13485-manufactured kit.
Microchannel-safe purity
Single-stage 0.1 µm filtration removes large particulates, aggregates, and bacteria, providing baseline purity beyond standard 0.22 µm-filtered reagents.[6]
Physiological Tris/NaCl base at pH 7.5
50 mM Tris and 150 mM NaCl support protein solubility and native structure; Solution A is formulated to pH 7.5.
Ultrapure-grade water
Manufactured with ultrapure Type 1 water (18.2 MΩ·cm) to minimize background contamination.
Broad downstream compatibility
Compatible with SDS-PAGE, western blotting, enzyme assays, and total protein quantification.
PVP-40 phenol protection and TCEP-HCl reduction
1% PVP-40 complexes polyphenols and pigments that cause protein crosslinking[4], while 5 mM TCEP-HCl maintains cysteine residues in a reduced state and limits oxidative damage during extraction.[5]
Customization on demand
pH, molarity, salt composition, and additive content can be adjusted on request for protocol-specific extraction needs.
Single-stage 0.1 µm filtration
Solution A is manufactured with a single 0.1 µm membrane filtration pass, exceeding the particulate control of standard 0.22 µm-filtered laboratory reagents.[6]

0.1 µm filtration
Removes large particulates, aggregates, and bacteria. Primary guard providing baseline purity exceeding standard 0.22 µm filtration.
Performance vs. conventional buffer
Standard 0.22 µm single-pass filtration leaves particles in the 0.12-0.22 µm range. The 0.1 µm final filter used here is 2.2 times finer than a 0.22 µm membrane, reducing the particulate load carried into downstream assays.
Validated and supported applications
PVP Protein Extraction Buffer is designed for plant tissues rich in polysaccharides and polyphenols, and for other complex samples where standard guanidinium-based reagents give low yield or contaminated extracts.[1][2][9]
Automated Bioreactors & Robotics
For automated sample-preparation platforms and robotic liquid handling, an optional 0.01 µm (10 nm) ultra-filtered variant of Solution A is available to further protect valves, sensors, and fine-bore tubing from particulate carry-over.
- Total particulate exclusion for automated fluid paths.
- Valve and sensor protection in robotic liquid-handling systems.
- Extended stability for continuous or repeated dispensing cycles.
Inquiry Required: the 0.01 µm ultra-filtered grade is produced to order; contact support@diagnocine.com to request this variant.
Micro Physiological System (MPS) & Chip Sample Prep
Low-particulate extraction buffer suitable for feeding downstream microfluidic and chip-based protein assays.[8]
Plant Tissue Lysis & Homogenization
Homogenize tissue in 5-10 volumes of cold buffer, keeping samples on ice throughout extraction.
Recalcitrant Plant Tissue Protein Extraction
Formulated for leaves, roots, seeds, and woody tissues where polyphenols and pigments interfere with standard extraction chemistries.[2]
Native Protein Interaction Studies
Mild, non-denaturing Tris/NaCl base supports native protein interactions needed for co-immunoprecipitation.[10]
SDS-PAGE, Western Blotting & Enzyme Assays
Extracted protein is compatible with SDS-PAGE, western blotting, enzyme assays, and total protein quantification.[3]
Callus & Plant Cell Culture Extracts
Also suitable for protein extraction from callus cultures and other complex plant-derived samples (user validation recommended).
