Company of the week: Cube Biotech GmbH
For all the proteomics enthusiasts, this company is enabling enrichment strategies with more reproducible results for targeted assays.
I specifically enjoy the Fe-NTA MagBeads for a variety of reasons:
- Enhanced sensitivity, specificity, and deeper insights into phosphorylation dynamics through improved identification and quantification of phosphorylated peptides.
- Easily automated. (Check out this great example from the Villén lab at UW led by Dr. Mario Leutert! - https://lnkd.in/gv9wducJ)
- Reusable! You can strip these beads and reuse them; ensure to implement QC for testing the enrichment efficiency after stripping.
Although these beads have originally been optimized on yeasts, we have found that they work as well for human cell lines and tissues.
If you study cell signaling and have to set up a Phosphoproteomics workflow, you should definitely consider looking into products by Cube Biotech GmbH. Not to mention their other successful products like nanodiscs for membrane stabilization, His-Tag protein purification kits, and custom iMAC resins.
If you are curious and want to understand more about how to use this product in the lab, contact me here at TapBioscience so we can discuss it!
