The process is dividing into three phases: homogenisation, extraction, and resuspension.
The process is divided into three phases: homogenisation, extraction, and resuspension.

=== Homogenisation ===
The first step is to break open the cells and suspend their contents in an extractable form.
The first step is to break open the cells and suspend their contents in an extractable form.


# If you're using a buccal swap, spit, etc, pelletise the sample by centrifuging. Discard the liquid.
# If your sample is cells in liquid (e.g. blood, spit), pelletise the sample by centrifuging. Discard the liquid.
# Suspend in 100ul homogenisation buffer, comprising 10mm edta, 60mm nacl, and 10mm tris (lowered to a pH of 7.5 using HCl)
# Suspend in 100ul homogenisation buffer, comprising 10mm edta, 60mm nacl, and 10mm tris (lowered to a pH of 7.5 using HCl)
# Add equal volume solubilisation buffer, comprising 2% SDS, 30mm EDTA, 200mm tris (lowered to a pH of 9 using HCl)
