The Thermo Scientific™ Pierce™ C18 Spin Tips and Spin Columns are high-efficiency, ready-to-use tools for the desalting, cleanup, and enrichment of peptides prior to mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. They employ a porous reverse-phase C18 resin or monolithic sorbent, enabling the rapid and reproducible removal of interfering substances such as salts, detergents, and other MS-incompatible compounds. Designed for flexibility, the format supports a wide range of peptide sample volumes and concentrations, ensuring excellent peptide recovery and improved spectral quality for MALDI-MS and ESI-MS.
Key Features & Benefits
-
High Recovery & Sensitivity
Retains and elutes peptides efficiently—even from sub-picomole quantities of digested protein. -
Rapid & Convenient Sample Prep
Complete cleanup and elution in under five minutes using a simple 5-step spin protocol. -
MS-Compatible Output
Peptides are eluted in solvents suitable for LC-MS/MS or MALDI-MS, free from salts or detergents. -
Flexible Volumes & Formats
Available in both spin tip and pipette tip formats for manual or automated workflows. -
Centrifuge-Compatible Design
Spin tips include adaptors for easy microcentrifuge processing without special equipment. -
Low Dead Volume & Minimal Loss
Engineered to prevent sample loss during loading or elution, ensuring maximum peptide recovery.
Applications
- Peptide desalting and sample prep for MALDI-MS or LC-MS/MS
- Cleanup of peptide mixtures post-enzymatic digestion
- Concentration of dilute peptide solutions
- Removal of buffers, salts, and surfactants before MS analysis
- High-throughput proteomics workflows and biomarker discovery
