HybridSPE-Precipitation
This technology offers the simplicity of protein precipitation and the selectivity of Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) for the targeted removal of phospholipids and proteins in biological plasma/serum.
Phospholipids are one of the principal causes of ion-suppression in LC-MS; they often remain on the analytical column after sample analysis and elute uncontrollably in a LC run sequence.

PHOS- Select™ Gallium/Silica spin column kit
This column kit is designed to increase the concentration of phosphopeptides from tryptic digests by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). The phosphopeptide capture matrix is a novel Ga3+ chelate silica based on a proprietary nitriloacetic acid (NTA) analog. The silica beads are approximately 20 microns in diameter with a pore size of 1,000 Angstroms.
The matrix is packed into spin columns for easy, micro-scale affinity capture of phosphopeptides (see workflow).
Use to purify samples containing up to 25 nmoles of phosphopeptides.

PHOS-Select™ Iron Affinity Gel
This is a novel Iron (III) chelate matrix based on Sigma’s NTA analog chelate ligand. This matrix offers high capacity affinity binding of molecules containing phosphate groups. It allows affinity enrichment of phosphopeptides obtained from protein tryptic digests or direct transfer of phosphocompounds for analysis via HPLC or Mass spectrometry.
PHOS-Select™ High Capacity Iron Coated Plate
High Capacity Iron Coated multiwell plates are prepared with a novel iron [Fe(III)] chelate matrix based on our proprietary NTA analog chelate ligand. This matrix provides high capacity affinity binding of molecules containing phosphate groups.
The high capacity coating allows for a variety of applications:
· Affinity enrichment of phosphopeptides obtained from protein tryptic digests
· Affinity enrichment of phosphoproteins from crude mixtures
· Affinity enrichment of small organic phosphocompounds (e.g. adenosine 5'-monophosphate)
· Direct transfer of phosphocompounds for analysis (HPLC, mass spectrometry)
