About Resuspension
Resuspension is the process of adding liquid to a pellet or sediment to create a homogeneous suspension. It's commonly used in molecular biology and biochemistry.
Final Concentration:
C = Mass / Volume
Resuspension Volume:
Volume = Mass / Desired Concentration
Dilution Factor:
DF = C_initial / C_final
Key considerations:
- Use appropriate buffer or solvent
- Mix gently to avoid shearing
- Allow time for complete resuspension
- Check for homogeneity
Common Applications:
• Protein resuspension
• DNA/RNA pellet resuspension
• Cell pellet resuspension
• Nanoparticle resuspension
Techniques:
• Gentle pipetting
• Vortex mixing
• Sonication
• Magnetic stirring
Proper resuspension techniques are crucial for maintaining sample integrity and ensuring accurate experimental results.
