Product Information

Kit for IP/ Co-IP of Spot-tagged proteins & sample preparation for mass spectrometry (MS)

DescriptionThe iST Spot-Trap® Kit enables researchers to process Spot-tagged proteins and their interacting partners for Mass Spectrometric analysis. The kit includes the ChromoTek Spot-Trap for immunoprecipitation/Co-IP of Spot-tagged proteins and the PreOmics iST buffers and cartridges required for bottom-up proteomic sample preparation. This robust method yields purified peptides while dramatically reducing contamination and sample loss. Each kit accommodates up to eight samples and includes pull-down reagent for controls:

• Reliable dentification of Spot-tagged proteins & interacting partners by mass spectrometry.

• Identification of even low abundant/ low expressed Spot-tagged proteins

• Superior processing of IP samples into clean peptide mixtures

• Intuitive protocol and reproducible results
