A new tool for protein digestion is designed to substantially reduce preparation times and associated errors, facilitating fast and reliable analytical results for biopharmaceutical and protein research applications.
Current protein digestion techniques are comprised of complex procedures that require the determination of protein concentration, followed by sample reduction and alkylation steps prior to digestion with trypsin. This multifaceted preparation protocol can take up to 24 hours and is prone to both irreproducibility and poor sensitivity.
To improve upon this process, the Thermo Scientific SMART Digest kit uses a simple three-step, easy-to-implement process that can be automated. Its immobilized trypsin design is formulated for high-quality data with a significantly reduced sample preparation time compared to traditional in-solution digestion methods.
The SMART Digest kit will be exhibited for the first time at the 63rd Annual American Society for Mass Spectrometry Conference, Booth 140 and at the Landmark Suite at the Renaissance Hotel ...
