Post digestion, peptide enrichment and/or fractionation is often necessary to detect peptides from low-abundant proteins and/or for reducing sample complexity for proteomic analysis.

There are several strategies that can be deployed to increase target protein identifications: utilize post-translational modification (PTM) specific affinity binding, such as phosphopeptide enrichment, or through fractionation, such as high pH reversed-phase chromatography which separates peptides by hydrophobicity.

The novel Thermo Scientific™ ActivX™ probes and enrichment kits enable the specific targeting of several enzyme classes, including kinases, GTPases, and serine hydrolases, which are covalently labeled in the active site at the protein level and enriched after digestion.

  • Comprehensive—reagents and kits for multiple peptide enrichment and/or fractionation strategies
  • Optimized—all kits are designed to maximize protein yield and increase target protein I.D.
  • Convenient—easy-to-use spin columns, tips or magnetic formats enable more rapid processing of peptide samples
  • Flexible—kits can be used with either cultured mammalian cells or tissues
  • Validated—all products have been fully tested and processed samples have been analyzed using Thermo Scientific™ Mass Spectrometers
