Purpose
|
MagSi-proteomics beads are magnetic beads that are an ideal tool for the purification, concentration and desalting of peptides and protein digests. The surface of the beads has been modified with C4, C8 and C18 -alkyl groups that are typical for reversed phase applications.

Characteristics
|
MagSi-proteomics beads are magnetic silica beads coated with C4, C8 or C18 alkyl groups, providing a reversed phase (RP) surface chemistry. The beads are an ideal tool for protein and peptide sample concentration, desalting and fractionation, and reduce sample complexity. The different versions of MagSi-proteomics beads are intended for:
MagSi-proteomics C4: capture, concentration and purification of proteins from protein mixtures in general, cell lysates, culture supernatant (e.g. secreted proteins).
MagSi-proteomics C8: capture and purification of peptides and proteins from the following clinical samples: urine, saliva and CSF
MagSi-proteomics C18: Desalting of peptides or protein tryptic digest prior to mass spectrometry, concentration of peptides (e.g. secreted peptides into media), capture and purification of peptides and proteins from the following clinical samples: serum and plasma
Note: For tissue samples we recommend to use MagSi-WCX or MagSi-WAX instead.
MagSi-proteomics C18 beads are an ideal tool for the purification, concentration and desalting of peptides and protein digests. MagSi-proteomics C8 beads represent an intermediate hydrophobicity (less hydrophobic than C18 and more hydrophobic than C4) and are suitable for sample preparation for proteomic profiling and biomarker research. The relatively low hydrophobicity of MagSi-proteomics C4 is most suitable for purification and fractionation of larger biomolecules like proteins. MagSi-proteomics beads are ideally suited for use in 96 well microplates on automated liquid handling platforms

Components
|
Magnetic silica particles with reversed phase chemistry on the surface (C18).

Material not included
|
Depending on the application, some buffers and materials are needed: Mixer/vortex to mix samples and resuspend beads Magnetic separator for bead separation/collection Solvents and reagents like ACN and TFA
We recommend to use the following buffers with the MagSi-proteomics beads and only use HPLC grade reagents. Adsorption solution: 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), NaCl up to 200 mM can be added using MagSi-proteomics C4 and C8 beads Washing solution: 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) Desorption solution: Typically 50% can in 0.1% TFA.
Note: Fractionation of proteins/peptides is possible by using different concentrations of ACN (e.g. 20%, 50%, 80%)
