Surfactant improves protein
characterisation
ProteasMax has been designed to enhance the enzymatic performance of trypsin and other proteases in preparation for analysis by mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography
Promega announces the launch of ProteasMax surfactant The surfactant enables scientists to obtain a more complete digestion prior to protein analysis, resulting in more accurate data in a shorter time, and reduced risk of sample degradation

Homogeneous membrane integrity assay, a rapid fluorescent measure of the release of cytoplasmic lactate dehydrogenase, is suitable for automated systems including HTS
ProteasMax surfactant delivers both on process and results, says the company.
Because ProteasMax degrades during the digestion reaction, researchers can proceed directly to analysis of peptides by mass spectrometry without additional inactivation steps.
The new reagent is also compatible with existing protocols for 1 or 2D in-gel digestion of a purified protein or the digestion of complex protein samples by 2D LC-MS/MS.
"We perceive a growing demand for higher throughput and streamlined protocols in proteomics", said Hrissi Samartzidou, global director for gene and protein sciences.
"Our strategy is to identify process bottlenecks and the needs of proteomics researchers in order to develop the optimum solutions to address them".
As a supplier to protein research for over a decade, Promega plans to continue to make innovative contributions such as ProteasMax that will fulfill the complex needs of scientists' in the area of proteomics sample prep with focus on protein sample depletion, enrichment and digestion.
