  Norgen Biotek Corp. Expands ProteoSpin(TM) Product Line by Offering Rapid Urine Protein Concentration Kit, Generic Albumin Depletion Kit and On-Column Proteolytic Digestion Kit

ST. CATHARINES, ON, June 27 /CNW/ - Norgen Biotek Corp, an innovative Canadian biotechnology company focusing principally on advancing powerful innovations for nucleic acid and protein purification, today announced the expansion of the ProteoSpin(TM) line of products by launching three additional kits: the Urine Protein Concentration Kit, the Serum Albumin Depletion Kit, and the On-column Proteolytic Digestion Kit. These are now currently available under the ProteoSpin(TM) line of products.
The ProteoSpin(TM) Urine Protein Concentration Kit provides a fast, reliable and simple procedure for concentrating urine proteins 20-fold in a few minutes. The simultaneous concentration and desalting of urinary proteins make the kit a convenient tool for preparing urine proteins before running downstream proteomic applications including whole protein mass spectrometry and protein microarrays. Urine protein analysis can be used for the identification of potential biomarkers in urine, and to diagnose and/or monitor renal and other diseases.
The ProteoSpin(TM) Serum Albumin Depletion Kit provides a fast, simple and inexpensive procedure for the effective depletion of major serum proteins including albumin, and alpha-antitrypisn, from serum and plasma samples. The kit is unique in that it is not based on specific antibodies, therefore it can be used to deplete albumin from different animal sources. The kit allows for the complexity of the serum sample to be greatly reduced, allowing for the detection of less abundant proteins present in the sample.
The ProteoSpin(TM) On-Column Proteolytic Digestion Kit is available in spin-column format or 96-well plate format for high throughput. These kits provide a fast and simple procedure for the generation of purified peptides by combining trypsin digestion with peptide purification in a single device. The kit is highly efficient in the enzymatic digestion of both simple and complex protein samples using trypsin, and the subsequent purification of the resulting peptides. The kits have been tested on complex samples such as urine, and provide an efficient procedure to investigate peptide profiling using mass spectroscopy.
"A few months ago Norgen launched the first 3 ProteoSpin(TM) kits, and today we have a total of 10 ProteoSpin(TM) related products. We are committed to the ongoing development of high quality proteomics-enabling tools in our ProteoSpin(TM) product line" said Dr. Yousef Haj-Ahmad, President & CEO of Norgen Biotek.
