20080289963 | Gel for Isoelectric Focusing - The present invention relates to the field of electrophoresis and more specifically to a gel or strip for separating peptide components by isoelectric focusing by producing IPG (immobilised pH gradient) gels or strips in a novel way before focusing. More closely, the peptides are focused in a novel IPG gel including an uneven or non-linear pH gradient having at least three separate stepwise arranged pH-intervals. After focusing the peptide resolution is high and the peptides are evenly distributed along the gel. | 11-27-2008 |
20080293083 | Method and Kit for Peptide Analysis - The present invention relates to a method for peptide analysis, comprising the following steps: a) tagging N-terminals of peptides in sample(s) with mass tagging reagent(s) and mass balancing C-terminals of said peptides with mass balancing reagent(s), or vice versa; and b) mass spectrometry analysis of said peptides. The present invention also relates to a kit with global mass tagging reagents and mass balancing reagents for use in said method and a database with specific peptide information. | 11-27-2008 |
20080318327 | Kit and Method for Mass Labelling - The present invention relates to a kit for mass labelling of peptides in two or more samples, comprising a set of mass tagging reagents for reaction at the N-terminals of the peptides and a set of mass balancing reagents for reaction at the C-terminals of the peptides, or vice versa, and wherein each mass tagging reagent in the set is matched with mass balancing reagent(s) in such a way that the sum of the masses from all matched mass tagging and mass balancing reagents is equal. The invention also relates to a method of using said mass labels and a database for use in said method. | 12-25-2008 |
20090026081 | METHOD, COMPOSITION AND KIT FOR ISOELECTRIC FOCUSING - The present invention relates to a method, composition and a kit for isoelectric focusing. More closely, the present invention involves the use of to modified carrier ampholytes which are easy to separate from the proteins/peptides following finished focusing. The modification is that the carrier ampholytes are derivatised with handles interacting with a solid phase/matrix which makes them easy to remove and separate from the peptides after finished focusing. In this way, there is very little or no background from carrier ampholytes in the following MS-spectra. | 01-29-2009 |
