MagDetect(TM) WAX beads are magnetic silica beads coated with a weak anion exchange surface (WAX). The beads are intended for:
-sample preparation and pre-fractionation prior to mass spectrometry (e.g. MALDI-TOF analysis) and HPLC
-protein and peptide separation for multiple downstream applications, e.g. enzymatic assays
-detergent removal
-Fractionation of clinical samples e.g. serum, plasma, tissues, CSF, urine and cell lysates -Enrichment of phosphorylated proteins and peptides
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C. For long-term storage, store at 4 degrees C. Do not freeze! Store beads in well closed vial and in upright position to prevent drying of the beads since this makes them more difficult to resuspend and may decrease their activity. Vortex bead suspension well before use. Beads are stable for at least 6 months.
Use of MagDetect(TM) Magnetic Separators:
Magnetic separators are required to work with magnetic beads. MagDetect(TM) Separators work with all MagDetect(TM) products as well as all competitive magnetic beads on the market.
