MagSi Beads & Solutions for Proteomics Applications

Examples of beads used in protein isolation and proteomics
- MagSi-protein G bead type performance and competition
- MagSi-proteomics performance and competition
- MagSi-WCX and MagSi-WAX
- MagSi-S plain silica bead stability
Capacity of MagSi-protein G beads
- GAPDH was used as model
- GAPDH was bound and eluted, analyzed by SDS PAGE
Results show:
Lane 1: MagSi-protein G 600
Lane 2: MagSi-protein G 1.0
Lane 4: Comp. Dynal protein G
MagSi proteomics C18 beads Manual Handling testing results

- 4 – 8 fold higher
sensitivity analyzing the
BSA digest compoared to
Microcolumn and ZipTip
desalting (right hand site
a.u.)
- Significantly more
peptides could be
annotated/identified
(numbered peaks)
-
Best signal to noise ratio
-
Enhancement of magnetic
capture can add
additional performance
(use 1 µm to 2 µm beads).

Serum sample – the various MagSi beads are adressing the various targets


MagSi proteomics C18 beads Automated Handling testing results

- Equipment: Mikrotiterplate (MTP) format for use in automated (robotic) systems, (Tecan)
- 24 peptide hits using MagSi beads (vs 8 and 20 hits using competitors beads).
-
Complex saliva sample
- Therefore optimized organic solvents were used for MTP use.
Guideline: Choose the right beads for the right application
Alternative applications:
- MagSi-WAX/WCX: suitable in phosphoproteomics as prefractionation/depletion tool
- MagSi-proteomics C4, C8 and C18: concentration of diluted samples, e.g
Secreted proteins/peptides into media
- MagSi-protein A/G: capture/enrichment/release of phosphorylated protein/peptides
Replacing HPLC fractionation with MagSi-proteomics beads


Stability of MagSi beads
- MagSi-S beads have
been tested under high
salt conditions, high
temperature and both
- MagSi-S beads are
stable for pH values
between 3 and 13
- MagSi-S beads are
stable for temperatures
up to 95°C
- MagSi-S beads are
stable in high salt
conditions up to 4M
NaCl
Customization Potential for Particles & Beads
MagSicustom product development potential
Customization Potential for Particles & Beads...when standard doen't fit
Speed and versatilaty of the manufacturing process enable us to offer beside ready to use
products tailor-made particles with a wide range of features and short term developement cycles
