Homogenisation , Filtration , Ultracentrigfugation
1 of 5
What happens in homogenisation & filtration?
Homo - Cells grinded up, breaks plasma membrane, organelles released , isotonic & ice cold Filtration - passed through gauze, debris too large to fit through
2 of 5
What happens in ultracentrigfugation?
Solution spun at high speed, pellet formed, new test tube supernatant spun again, Naughty Monkeys like Eating Rasins (Nuclei Mitochondria Lysosomes E.R Raisins)
