ST. LOUIS, March 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sigma, a division of Sigma- Aldrich Corporation , has launched a line of kits for glycoprotein analysis. This growing group of innovative kits provides an accurate, fast, and economic option for chemical and enzymatic deglycosylation and fluorescent glycan labeling. Featured products include GlycoProfile I In-Gel Enzymatic Deglycosylation Kit (Product Code PP0200), GlycoProfile II In-Solution Enzymatic Deglycosylation Kit (Product Code PP0201), GlycoProfile III Fluorescent Labeling Kit (Product Code PP0300), and GlycoProfile IV Chemical Deglycosylation Kit (Product Code PP0510). Each kit contains Proteomics Grade enzymes and standards and has been optimized to provide maximum yield in the shortest amount of time.
GlycoProfile(TM) I In-Gel Enzymatic Deglycosylation Kit (Product Code PP0200) N-Deglysosylates and tryptically digests glycoprotein samples in 1-D and 2-D poly acrylamide gel slices for subsequent MS or HPLC analysis. GlycoProfile(TM) II In-Solution Enzymatic Deglycosylation Kit (Product Code PP0201) Removes N-linked glycans from glycoproteins and is compatible with subsequent MALDI-TOF mass spectrophotometric analysis without interference from any of the reaction components. GlycoProfile(TM) III Fluorescent Labeling Kit (Product Code PP0300) Fluorescent detection of glycoproteins directly in PAGE gels without blotting or use of antibodies. GlycoProfile(TM) IV Chemical Deglycosylation Kit (Product Code PP0510) Chemically deglycosylates N- and O-linked glycoproteins with negligible protein degradation using trifluoromethansulfoxide.
"The launch of the GlycoProfile group of products is an exciting event that will significantly increase the pace at which glycoprotein research is performed in the lab, saving hours of preparation time and assuring accurate, consistent results. This line of kits is a new but quickly growing group of products that will continue to bring scientists from analysis to real answers each and every day!" said Michael Hadjisavis, Manager of Strategic Business, Protein Expression and Proteomics, at Sigma-Aldrich.
