Chloroplasts are membrane-bound organelles found in plant and algal cells which perform the function of photosynthesis. Plant chloroplasts are lens-shaped, usually 5-10 μm in diameter and 1-3 μm thick. Although leaves contain the majority of plants' chloroplasts, they can also be found in stems, seeds, and un-ripened fruit. BioVision's Chloroplast Isolation Kit provides an easy method to isolate chloroplast from a broad range of plant types including dicots, monocots, and conifers. Isolated chloroplasts can be used to study photosynthetic processes and as starting materials for chloroplast membrane, protein, chloroplast DNA and chloroplast RNA isolations
