Biotech Support Group reports on a recent patent application describing the simplicity and efficiency of their lipid clearance sample preparation technology for reducing analytical variables in liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrophotometric (LC-MS) analysis of insulin and C-peptide.
MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ, April 3, 2019 -- Biotech Support Group reports on a recent patent application describing the simplicity and efficiency of their lipid clearance sample preparation technology for reducing analytical variables in liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrophotometric (LC-MS) analysis of insulin and C-peptide. The citation is:
Shiffman, Dov, et al. " HYPERLINK “https://patents.google.com/patent/US20190079070A1/en"Methods for quantitation of insulin and c-peptide.” U.S. Patent Application No. 15/942,188.
The inventors describe methods for diagnosing or prognosing insulin resistance in diabetic and pre-diabetic patients, the method comprising determining the amount of insulin and C-peptide in a sample. Mass spectrometric methods are described for detecting and quantifying insulin and C-peptide in a biological sample utilizing enrichment and/or purification methods coupled with tandem mass spectrometric or high resolution/high accuracy mass spectrometric techniques. The application states “In some embodiments, serum is delipidated prior to quantitation by mass spectrometry. … In some embodiments, the delipidation reagent is CLEANASCITE”.
“This patent application justifies the value of Cleanascite™ as a serum delipidation reagent so that better quantitative analysis of targeted protein analytes can be monitored by LC-MS.” states Swapan Roy, Ph.D., President and Founder of Biotech Support Group.
