Proteomics, What Four Products Do You Need?
Announcement posted by John Morris Group 15 Oct 2014
Electrophoresis, Dialysis Membranes, Solid-Phase Extraction and Centrifugal Filters
Labs and research facilities rely on instruments and supplies to study an organism’s complete protein profile, referred to as proteomics. Analysing these functions, structures, and modifications of protein profiles can potentially result in promising new medications.
| What’s Proteomics? The study of an organism's complete protein profile through time, including function, structure and modifications. The proteome of an organism can differ due to varying conditions over time, unlike the organisms genome which does remain constant. These varying protein levels and the modifications that take place within cells are of interest to the proteomic researcher to help identify potential new drugs for the treatment of diseases or other conditions. |
Key resources for a proteomics lab include:
- Vertical electrophoresis systems for characterising or separating proteins
- Dialysis membranes for the gentle separation and purification of solutes
- Solid-phase extraction columns for reliable sample preparation
- Centrifugal filters for protein concentration and desalting
Preparing proteomic samples may also involve homogenizers, blenders, incubators, centrifuges, microscopes, spectrophotometers, and syringe pumps. Other items to have nearby are:
- Dialysis products including dialysers, spin columns, cassettes, and tubes
- Safety equipment such as gloves, safety glasses and goggles, glove boxes, and biosafety equipment to protect your samples
- Separation products such as power supplies and multi-well plates
