SEC (Gel Filtration) HPLC Low Molecular Weight (LMW) Protein Standard

Product Description

CellMosaic’s size exclusion chromatography (SEC) HPLC LMW protein standard is designed for day to day use to check HPLC column performance and for the analysis of bioconjugates. The kit consists of four proteins with a MW range of 6.5 to 43 KDa and a small molecule with MW of 154 Da. The broad range of protein molecular weight coverage allows easy identification of small molecules, conjugates, and aggregates in a bioconjugation mixture, such as protein and peptide labeling and conjugation. CellMosaic routinely uses this product for its internal bioconjugation-related research.

A total of two micro-centrifuge tubes are in a package. Each micro-centrifuge tube contains protein mixture lyophilized from 100 µL of standard solution. The product is ready for use after reconstituting in 100 µL of deionized water.

Shipping policy: heat-sensitive, choose overnight (ships Mon.-Thur.)

Application Note 

Calibration of Protein and Conjugate MW

The approximate MW of an unknown protein or protein conjugate can be determined by comparing its retention time to the protein standard. Figure 1 gives an example of the SEC profile. For more accurate calculation, an SEC MW standard curve is recommended (Figure 2).
