Recovery of proteins using low binding tubes and the Omni Bead Ruptor Elite bead mill homogenizer
The field of proteomics increasingly requires low sample volumes and the detection of minimal protein concentrations. Low-binding tubes, which help minimize the loss of protein or nucleic acids within a sample, provide researchers a means to avoid as much analyte loss as possible compared to standard tubes. A comparison of standard polypropylene tubes and low-binding tubes found that the latter retained less protein and maintained its low-binding properties during bead milling. The Omni Bead Ruptor Elite bead mill homogenizer was effective in this process, making these low-binding tubes a valuable tool for handling and extracting proteins in small quantities for the bead milling process.
