Comprehensive testing for extractables in deep well microplates

In the present study, significant contamination levels were again found in many microplate samples from a range of manufacturers. This study widens the scope of prior studies and analyzes not only “natural” polymer microplates, but also black and colored plates from a much larger range of manufacturers than before...

Using Protein Crash and Solid Phase Extraction Techniques for Biological Sample Preparation

Unwanted biomolecules need to be removed from serum, blood, urine, semen, spinal fluid, and other ex-vivo samples so that quantitative analysis of tiny molecules can be performed using LC-MS systems. The main components that need removing are proteins because these macromolecules become sticky and can damage chromatography columns. These large proteins can clog up the tiny holes in chromatography columns.
