Eppendorf Part No. 022431102
Eppendorf Protein LoBind Tubes are specifically designed for use in proteomics or other fields of protein research, where protein concentration tend to be very small and sample recovery is vital for assay results. Significantly more protein can be recovered for downstream analyses and enzymes remain active. When biological samples are stored or incubated in standard vessels, over 90% of the sample volume can be lost within 24 hours as a result of binding to the plastic surface. Eppendorf LoBind Tubes maximize sample recovery by significantly reducing sample binding to the surface. A special, two-component polymer mix creates a hydrophilic surface that guarantees optimal recovery rates of valuable samples. Protein LoBind Tubes have been specially designed for use in protein research or with sensitive proteomic test methods, and frequently provide significantly improved analysis results. Features LoBind material guarantees maximum sample recovery for improved assay results Free of surface coating (e.g., silicone) to minimize the risk of sample interference Lot-certified PCR clean purity grade: of human DNA, DNase, RNase and PCR inhibitors Available in tube, microplate, and deepwell plate formats for easy-up scaling Precise lid sealing to minimize evaporation Applications Preparation or storage of protein, peptide or antibody samples Enzymatic assays – the hydrophilic surface reduces denaturation when it comes into contact with the tube inner wall Prevention of sample loss during storage of virus stock solutions Storage of cell suspensions
