Denator has released a kit to help scientists obtain a representative picture of protein profiles when analysing heat-stabilised tissue using standard two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-GE).
Together with the company's Stabilizor system, the Stabilizor 2D-GE Extraction Kit enables users to heat stabilise, homogenise and extract proteins from tissue samples following a validated protocol developed to maximise protein recovery.
Utilisation of Denator's Stabilizor system, based on the company's heat-stabilisation technology, has been shown to stop biological changes in tissue from the moment of sampling, preventing the enzymatic processes that alter protein states and cause protein degradation.
Earlier this year, the company introduced the Stabilizor Peptide Extraction Kit to prepare and extract peptides from heat-stabilised tissue prior to LC-MS analysis.
