Determine the liquid chromatographic pattern of protein in drug sample

Our UV HPLC analysis service can play an important part in you protein characterization:

A chromatography may leave you with questions about the identity of specific peaks and shoulders. However, a molecular weight analysis of the peaks by mass spectrometry will often identify the molecule.

Thus, our HPLC analysis service team can help you with:

Standard or customized HPLC analysis of your sample.
Collection of fractions for further analysis.
Combination with ESI-MS analysis for molecular weight determination of each peak, N-terminal Edman Sequencing and peptide mapping analysis.

Do you need to set up a custom HPLC analysis method?

You can also ask us to customize a method that meets your specific needs. For instance you may have an in-house method, which you want us to set up in our laboratory. If needed, we can also combine the service with high resolution Mw determination by mass spectrometry.

Technical details

Introduction to UV HPLC analysis

The protein analysis is conducted on our Agilent 1290 HPLC systems equipped with fraction collector, UV and fluorescence detector.

Standard analysis

We have set of standard analysis including column and gradient settings.

Custom designed analysis

The custom designed analysis is based on HPLC settings from clients. It thus includes e.g. column, temperature, and also gradient settings. The analysis can be coupled to an MS instrument to obtain accurate mass information of all peaks.

Sample preparation

Sample requirements for UV HPLC analysis

Protein samples can be submitted in liquid form or as lyophilized material.

Minimum amount of material ~ 20-50 micrograms.

Avoid detergents and keep the buffer concentration at a minimum. HPLC data analysis may work on samples containing small amounts of salts or urea. However, the best results are obtained with low buffer strength in volatile solvents without detergents.

Put the sample into microcentrifuge tube.
Use Eppendorf Safe Lock tubes, or similar tubes from your lab.
Then lyophilize or speed vac the sample to a solid to ensure protein stability during shipment.
Alternatively, you can freeze or refrigerate to +4°C for cold shipment of the liquid sample.
