Golgi apparatus, also called Golgi complex or Golgi body, is made up of a series of flattened stacked

pouches (cisternae). Golgi apparatus is a vital organelle in eukaryotic cells and is responsible for

transporting, modifying, and packaging protein and lipids into vesicles for delivery to targeted locations. 

The quantity and distribution of Golgi in different cell and tissue types vary significantly. The ability to obtain

highly-enriched Golgi fraction is an important first step forstudying its function and interaction with other

organelles. Traditional methods for isolating Golgi apparatus are based on density gradient

ultracentrifugation. The protocol requires a large amount of starting material and the methods are tedious 

and time-consuming. Unlike any other Golgi isolation kit, this kit uses a patented spin-column-based 

technology that is simple, rapid and requires only a small amount of starting material. This kit can 

preferentially enrich native Golgi by precipitation without usinga Dounce homogenizer and 

ultracentrifugation. The whole protocol can be completed in < 2 hours.
