TechTalk: Preventing protein degradation during sample homogenization
Friday, September 18 at 16:00 BST | 17:00 CEST | 11:00 EDT | 8:00 PDT
Protein degradation during tissue and cell homogenization remains a major challenge for obtaining reliable and reproducible proteomic results.
In this SelectScience® TechTalk, held in partnership with Bertin Technologies, we will examine the key factors that can compromise protein integrity during sample preparation, including heat generation, mechanical stress, and suboptimal processing conditions.
Participants will learn practical strategies to minimize protein degradation, improve protein recovery, and preserve sample quality for downstream analyses. Through real-world examples, we will demonstrate how the Precellys® product range supports standardized and efficient homogenization workflows, helping researchers maximize reproducibility and obtain high-quality protein extracts with confidence.
