Cell lysis buffers with cyanate or thiocyanate
The patent application (Publication Number: US20230416724A1) discloses a composition comprising a buffer in aqueous solution, a detergent, and a specific concentration range of cyanate or thiocyanate. The relative concentration of cyanate or thiocyanate to urea in the composition is specified to be at least 1:800, with variations up to 1:1,000,000. The detergent in the composition can be an ionic, non-ionic, surfactant, cationic, anionic, zwitterionic, or amphoteric detergent, providing flexibility in formulation.
Furthermore, the composition may contain no more than certain specified concentrations of urea, be free of urea or guanidinium, and include additional components such as ionic salts, reducing agents, and proteases. The buffer in the composition can be phosphate, Tris, Bis-Tris, e-aminocaproic acid, or HEPES, with a pH range between 3.5 and 9.0. The aqueous solution may have a buffer concentration between 10 mM and 200 mM, offering a wide range of conditions for various applications. Overall, the patent application outlines a versatile composition with specific concentrations and components tailored for effective use in relevant processes.
