5. Add reducing agents, protease inhibitors, and carrier
ampholyte as needed (Table 2).
Table 2. Additions to PSB solution recommended
for various applications. Note that though the
applications listed often require use of chaotropes and
detergents, these agents are already included in the PSB
solution.

Sample Processing
6. Suspend the wet yeast cell pellet (~60 µl) in 100 µl of
yeast suspension buffer.
Note: For best results, use a wet cell pellet from a freshly
grown yeast culture.
