Bio-Rad Laboratories has released the Proteinchip system starter kit, a focused, step-by-step introductory course for the Proteinchip Seldi system.
The Proteinchip system starter kit is a complete training tool that includes reagents, arrays and a video tutorial.
It teaches users the essentials, from reading Proteinchip arrays to profiling human serum and analysing the results for reproducibility and peak count.
The kit also provides data evaluation tools, tips, and recommendations to help life science researchers obtain the expected results from the Proteinchip Seldi system.
The video tutorial begins with a visual description of the anatomy of a Proteinchip array and ends with instructions for performing mass calibrations.
The kit also provides skill level testing and software basics.
It also includes the Proteinchip peptide mass calibration array.
The array is prepared with a matrix and seven peptides and can be used to perform mass calibrations in the peptide regions in as little as ten minutes.
