nSMOL™ Antibody BA Kit by Shimadzu Corporation

nSMOL (nano-surface and molecular orientation limited proteolysis) is Shimadzu’s proprietary, innovative technique that enables selective proteolysis of the Fab region of monoclonal antibodies. The nSMOL Antibody BA Kit is a ready-to-use reagent kit for collecting monoclonal antibodies from blood or other biological samples using immunoglobulin collection resin, and then performing selective proteolysis of the Fab region of these antibodies via trypsin-immobilized nanoparticles. Variable region-derived peptides produced by limited proteolysis can then be quantified via MRM measurements utilizing a high-performance LCMS-8050/8060 triple quadrupole liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer. An unparalleled convenient and rapid workflow provided by the nSMOL Antibody BA Kit dramatically improves the productivity and robustness of LCMS mAb bioanalysis.
