A Rapid, Automated Immunoaffinity LC-MS/MS Workflow

17 Apr 2019

Promega share its streamlined workflow that involves mAb enrichment, using high capacity magnetic streptavidin particles, followed by proteolysis using a commercially available rapid digestion kit. The rapid enrichment/digestion step, combined with direct LC-MS/MS analysis, allows for a protocol that is quick, simple, and can be easily automated.

Rapid Digestion–Trypsin and Rapid Digestion–Trypsin/Lys-C Kits

Promega Corp.

To shorten the time required to prepare samples for LC-MS/MS analysis, we have developed an optimized protocol in which rapid and efficient trypsin digestion is achieved at temperatures as high as 70°C. Using this approach, proteolytis reaction times are dramatically shortened, no chemical denaturants are added and off-line sample cleanup is unnecessary, leading to shorter preparation times and diminished sample losses.

LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis.
