Conventional buffer exchange methods can take a long time to complete, be labor-intensive and difficult to manage in large numbers. In this upcoming SelectScience webinar, Donna Chen from Unchained Labs will discuss how Big Tuna, a fully automated buffer exchange platform, is designed to address these challenges.
Chen will explore three applications that would benefit from using Big Tuna:
- Concentrating dilute proteins after purification
- Biologics formulation development
- Protein cleanup after labeling
Watch this webinar to learn about:
- How automating buffer exchange can increase sample throughput, improve sample quality, and increase your time away from the centrifuge
- How automated buffer exchange can be used on different sample preparation workflows
Who should attend:
- Protein purification scientists who are looking to speed up protein concentration steps
- Formulation scientists who are looking to efficiently screen and select formulation buffers for development
- Scientists who want to find a method to reduce the time needed to clean up samples after labeling
The live webinar takes place on Tuesday, April 14, 2020, at:
16:00 BST
11:00 EDT
08:00 PDT
17:00 CEST

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Protein PurificationProtein purification is a vital step in drug discovery, therapeutics, biotech and life science research. The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates.
