Product overview
Abcam's Lipid Extraction Kit (Chloroform-Free) (ab211044) provides a chloroform-free method of lipid isolation. The recovered organic phase can be dried and resuspended for downstream lipid analysis. This protocol overcomes the difficulties of lower phase extraction and the dangers of using chloroform while resulting in highly efficient lipid extraction. Each kit provides sufficient reagents to isolate up to 50 lipid preparations based on a 25 μL sample size.

Notes
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K216 Lipid Extraction Kit (Chloroform Free). K216-50 is the same size as the 50 test size of ab211044.
The term lipids describe a group of naturally occurring molecules that includes monoglycerides, diglycerides, trigylcerides, phospholipids, fat-soluble vitamins, fats and sterols. Lipids define and preserve cellular membrane integrity and play an important role in cellular processes such as membrane trafficking, signal transduction and energy storage. Dysregulation of lipid metabolism is linked to many diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Traditional lipid extraction is performed using the Folch method, in which lipids are extracted into an organic phase. Isolating lipids from this organic phase is tricky and can result in contamination with material from other phases. These contaminants may have a negative impact on downstream lipid analysis. Furthermore, the Folch method uses chloroform, which is toxic, as the organic phase solvent.
