Characterization Guidelines

How our reagents are characterized: purity, identity, activity and endotoxin testing.

What you will find here

Characterization is where a reagent earns trust. These guidelines explain the methods behind the numbers on our datasheets — SDS-PAGE and RP-HPLC purity, ESI-MS identity, SPR and cell-based activity assays, and LAL endotoxin testing — and how to interpret them for your application.

  • Purity: SDS-PAGE, RP-HPLC and SEC
  • Identity: ESI-MS and peptide mapping
  • Activity: SPR, ELISA and cell-based assays
  • Endotoxin: LAL kinetic turbidimetric testing

We are building out this section. The overview below explains what you will find here; full documents are being prepared and will be published soon. In the meantime, our technical support can answer any question directly.
