Sample Preparation
We handle a diverse range of biological, archaeological and forensic samples (human, animal, microbe, plant, tissue, biofluids, cell cultures) for protein preparation using:
Mechanical
- Dounce and disperse homogenisation
- Sonication
- Cryo-pulverisation
Chemical
- Chaotropic agents and detergents (e.g. 2D and 3D cell cultures)
- Concentrating (e.g. secretomes)
- Desalting (e.g. urine)
- Depletion of abundant protein (e.g. plasma)
Enzymic
- Proteases e.g. trypsin digestion
We are happy to discuss bespoke strategies for your specific sample preparation
