Same Data, Less Time: S-Trap™ Turbo™ Redefines Proteomics Throughput

S-Trap™ has standardized proteomics sample preparation by delivering dependable cleanup and digestion that reproducibly returns high-quality LC-MS results. Building on that foundation, the S-Trap™ Turbo™ 96-Well Mini Plate increases throughput for labs processing large cohorts.  S-Trap™ plates and columns capture proteins while removing common interferents such as salts, detergents, buffer components and other small molecules that disrupt assays, digestion and downstream MS performance. The S-Trap™ Turbo™ advances this approach with a polymer-based capture material that delivers over a 100-fold increase in surface density capture. Proteins quickly bind to and concentrate at the new synthetic matrix affording excellent cleanup and digestion in a small volume to improve run-to-run consistency and yield excellent sample preparation integrity. Turbos™ also simplify the workflow by replacing multiple collection steps with a single concentrated peptide recovery step: peptide outputs are ready for immediate LC-MS injection. No more SpeedVacing: elute and shoot!  By removing the need for SpeedVac concentration or lyophilization, Turbo™ eliminates this frequent bottleneck reducing total preparation time from over 5 hours to roughly 2.5 hours, including digestion. In addition to faster processing time and a simplified workflow, analytical results remain comparable to, or better than, the standard format. Reduce your assay time without compromising quality.  Excellent yield is maintained across sample types regardless of their hydrophobicity to allow confident identification and quantification in complex matrices and all kinds of samples: analyze challenging tissues and variable cohort compositions without change of protocol.  Designed for 96-well processing, the Turbo™ supports manual and automated operation and fits readily into high-capacity pipelines for discovery proteomics, comparative screens and other demanding applications. If your lab is scaling throughput or tightening turnaround times, S-Trap™ Turbo™ helps you spend less time on prep and more time generating LC-MS data you can trust.

ProtiFi and Tecan Announce Collaborative Partnership for Integrated Proteomics

ProtiFi and Tecan have partnered to create an integrated, highly scalable and easy-to-use proteomics workflow powered by the ProtiFi S-Trap™ sample preparation system and the Tecan Resolvex® A200 automated positive pressure workstation. The combined solution enables researchers to reproducibly prepare samples of all types for mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Preparing samples for proteomics has traditionally required a time-consuming and error-prone multi-step workflow that, according to literature, causes 75 % of the overall variability in proteomics data. S-Trap sample processing run on the Resolvex A200 solves this problem, allowing researchers to prepare large numbers of proteomics samples rapidly and consistently. The joint system provides researchers with an automated, standardized, and optimized workflow that increases productivity and eliminates the need for method development, enabling users to obtain better results from higher quality, more reproducible and uniform sample preparation. ProtiFi S-Trap sample processing is a revolutionary plate-based approach that eliminates many of the challenges of proteomics sample preparation, and has been cited hundreds of times in the analysis of samples as diverse as serum and dirt. S-Trap plates capture, concentrate and clean up samples, removing allcontaminating molecules, such as detergents, PEG, salts, Laemmli loading buffer and viral transport media. Samples are digested in the plate to generate assay-ready samples in just a few hours. In combination with the compact, benchtop Resolvex A200 positive pressure workstation, this offers affordable and high throughput automated proteomics sample preparation to laboratories for the first time. The Resolvex A200 system uses gas-based positive pressure to deliver maximum process reproducibility and uniformity across columns or wells, and automates accurate liquid dispensing for up to 11 protocol solvents – including the S-Trap denaturation, washing, binding and elution buffers – to ensure efficient clean-up, digestion and elution. The standard S-Trap proteomics protocols come preinstalled on the Resolvex A200 workstation, or users can create custom protocols optimized for unique needs, reducing processing times and enhancing analytical performance.
