Reagents for Proteomics
The wide-scale analysis of gene products has been a growing area of interest as mRNA analysis is not always concordant with protein expression. Furthermore, post-transcriptional modifications are of key importance as these occur in response to a variety of intracellular and extracellular signals.
Wako Laboratory Chemicals produces a range of reagents and CRMs for use with automated protein sequencers (Edman method) including Shimadzu Protein Primary Structure Analysers (PPSQ-1, PPSQ-2 and PPSQ-10).
Wako offers a range of products to optimise MALDI-TOF MS and QToF/MS, from proteome preparation reagents and digestion enzymes to MALDI-TOF MS Matrix.
The Phos-tag™ developed by Hiroshima University is a functional molecule that specifically binds phosphorylated ions, forming stable complexes under physiological conditions. Phos-tag acts as a novel labelling system for analysis of phosphorylation.
Wako offers a range of laemmli sample buffers and running buffers for PAGE. Also offered are WIDE-VIEW III protein markers. Pre-stained, these markers have a range of 11- 145kDa with coloured proteins demarking 75kDa (red) and 25kDa (green).
