Protein/Antibody Analysis
The analysis of protein and recombinant monoclonal antibody (mAb) products for size heterogeneity and purity has widespread applications in biochemistry, molecular biology, pharmaceutical, and biopharmaceutical laboratories. Typically, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) is used for molecular weight-based separations of proteins; however, this technique is slow, labor-intensive, offers marginal quantification, and is not readily amenable to automation. The Protein PRO™ 24HT protein analysis system offers an automated, quantitative platform for high resolution separations of proteins and mAbs with direct, UV based detection. A 24-capillary array provides increased throughput over single capillary systems, while streamlining workflow compared to chip-based systems which require manual loading or priming steps. Up to 192 samples can be analyzed in sequence with no user intervention.
