Detergent Removal from Peptides

The Thermo Scientific Pierce Detergent Removal Resins are provided in convenient spin-column or plate formats that quickly and efficiently remove ionic, nonionic, and/or zwitterionic detergents from protein or peptide samples to improve compatibility with downstream applications. Two formulations are available that are optimized to remove detergents from peptide samples with different concentration ranges. The Thermo Scientific HiPPR (high protein and peptide recovery) products are recommended for peptide samples ≤100 μg/mL. The standard Pierce Detergent Removal Resin products are ideal for peptide samples >100 μg/mL.

  • High performance—removes detergent with >90% recovery and no sample dilution
  • Versatile—effectively removes a wide variety of detergents from peptide or protein samples
  • Optimized—separate formulations for samples with peptide concentrations ≤ or >100 μg/mL
  • Flexible—available in various formats, including spin columns, 96-well spin plates, and loose resin
  • Convenient—simple method that helps to improve MS peptide coverage

Figure 1. Results using standard Pierce Detergent Removal Spin Column, 0.5 mL. Tryptic digests (0.1 mL, 100 μg) containing detergent were each processed through 0.5 mL of Pierce Detergent Removal Resin and subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis. Top row: Base peak LC-MS chromatograms. Bottom row: Integrated mass spectra. Similar results were produced for Brij-35 detergent, octyl glucoside, octyl thioglucoside, and SDS (data not shown).

Figure 2. Results using Pierce Detergent Removal Spin Columns, 0.5 mL. A tryptic digest of HeLa cell lysate (0.1 mL, 100 μg) containing 1% SDS was processed through 0.5 mL of Pierce Detergent Removal Resin and subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis. The processed sample allowed similar numbers of identified peptides as digests containing no SDS. Peptide identification is greatly reduced in sample containing SDS. Effective detergent removal enables greater peptide identification.

Each column and plate well contained ~550 μL of detergent-removal resin slurry and 0.1 mL of sample.

Figure 3.Results using HiPPR Detergent Removal Resin. BSA (100 μg/mL) tryptic digests were prepared without detergent, in the presence of 0.5% Triton X-100 or spiked with 0.5% SDS following enzymatic digestion. Samples (0.1 mL) containing detergent were processed with the HiPPR Detergent Removal Resin and compared to unprocessed or detergent-free samples by LC-MS/MS. Results demonstrate that detergent removal is effective and produces results similar to those observed for samples containing no detergent.
