Liege, Belgium/ Denville, USA/ Martinsried, Germany

Diagenode and PreOmics GmbH today announced a newly developed standardized solution for sample preparation of proteins to clean peptides for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis combining the PreOmics in-StageTip Kit (iST Kit) and the Diagenode Bioruptor® sonication system.

The PreOmics iST Kit is based on proprietary technology that contains optimized buffer systems permitting ultrafast proteolytic digestion with minimal hands-on time. The intuitive protocol makes the iST Kit easy to use for non-MS experts and works with standard lab equipment.

The Bioruptor Pico from Diagenode represents a breakthrough as an all-in-one shearing system optimized for shearing micro-volumes of 5 μl to larger volumes of up to 2 ml. The built-in cooling system ensures high precision temperature control resulting in higher quality samples.

The Bioruptor enables the streamlined processing of cells with the iST Kit, as the cell lysis and shearing of DNA is performed in a lossless manner within the cartridges of the iST Kit. The combination of Bioruptor®-based sonication with the iST Kit represents a complete solution for the sample processing of cell lines, as well as yeast and tissue material, containing all buffers with the ultrapure quality required for MS analysis, including the proteolytic enzymes.

PreOmics offers the iST Kit for 8 reactions, or in a larger format for 96 reactions facilitating high-throughput sample preparation for large-scale protein interaction studies and proteome analyses.
