Pierce C18 Spin Column
Thermo Scientific Pierce C18 Spin Column is a ready-to-use porous C18 reversed-phase resin spin column suitable for preparing peptide samples in MS and other analytical methods. This protocol is optimized to efficiently remove interfering contaminants and release peptides in MS-compatible solutions. These columns are effective for processing peptides derived from 10 ng to 30 µg of protein. Sensitivity and detection limits depend on the downstream application.
• Efficient — Effectively removes interfering contaminants to improve spectral quality, and works with a variety of reversed-phase compatible contaminants
• Flexible — Suitable for a wide range of sample loads and concentrations; no need to reduce sample volume before application
• Convenience — Spin column format allows processing of multiple samples simultaneously without the need for special equipment
• Robust—Special C18 resin enables excellent recoveries, even at low sample loads (sub-picomoles)
Pierce C18 Centrifugal Tips< Thermo Scientific Pierce C18 centrifugal tips help quickly and efficiently capture, concentrate, desalt and elute up to 10 µg peptide/20 µL sample in a sample volume range of 10-100 µL. The five-step method is simple and takes less than 5 minutes to process protein digests, strong cation exchange fractions, and other protein and peptide samples for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. Pierce C18 centrifugal tips feature excellent flow characteristics and efficient integrated C18 sorbent for rapid wetting, loading, washing, and elution.
• Efficient — Effectively removes interfering contaminants to improve spectral quality, and is suitable for a variety of reversed-phase compatible contaminants
• Fast — C18 fast flow tips offer lower resistance and higher flow characteristics
• Convenience — Centrifuge tips come with tip adapters for easy centrifugation of samples
• Samples Purer—Device filters out particulates that can clog autosamplers and columns
Applications
• Purify peptides after protein digestion
• Peptide sample concentration and desalting
• Sample preparation for MALDI peptide analysis and proteomics workflows
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) are research Essential for biological compounds because of their high sensitivity and mass accuracy. However, many buffers and compounds commonly found in biological samples can interfere with MALDI-MS and ESI-MS, reducing sensitivity and spectral quality. Pierce C-18 Spin Columns remove interfering contaminants and release peptides in MS-compatible solutions, providing an effective tool to assist MS inspection of post-translational modifications or identify proteins through peptide mapping.
