Anyone should feel free to add themselves as a curator for this consensus protocol. You do not need to be a curator in order to contribute. The OpenWetWare community is currently discussing the idea of protocol curators. Please contribute.

Abstract

Lyse red blood cells while leaving the Plasmodium falciparum parasite intact with it's parasite membrane and parasitophorous vacoule membrane.

Materials

List everything necessary to perform the protocol here. Include all information about suppliers, ordering details, etc. Links to the suppliers' page on that material are also appropriate and encouraged. Please be aware that users of this protocol may not be working in the same country as you.

Reagents

Biological resources e.g. cell lines, buffers (link to a method for making them), enzymes, chemicals, kits, etc.

Equipment

Any equipment used to perform the protocol (link to a method for using them).

Procedure

A step by step guide to the experimental procedure.

Critical steps

Referenced from the main protocol, a more thorough explanation of particularly important steps in the protocol.

Troubleshooting

Referenced from the main protocol, an explanation of what can cause things to go wrong with the protocol.

Notes

Referenced from the main protocol, any comments about the protocol should be made here; i.e. how it was developed. Any comments added should be signed (by adding *'''~~~~''': in front) and explained. Links to FAQs/tips provided by other sources such as the manufacturer or other websites would be best made here.
Anecdotal observations that might be of use to others can also be posted here; e.g. 'my cells were still floating'.

It might also be good to add an image to show the workflow and timescales for experiment planning.
