New Albumin Depletion Products For Proteomics from Biotech Support Group, LLC New Jersey.

Serum albumin can constitute more than 55% of total serum protein, obscuring other proteins and making the resolution of lower abundant proteins difficult. Biotech Support Group offers two new products for albumin depletion: AlbuSorb™ and AlbuVoid™. AlbuSorb™ binds albumin allowing serum proteins to flow through; while AlbuVoid™ allows the albumin to flow through, the serum proteins bind and elute. Removing albumin enhances the detection of low abundance proteins.
AlbuSorb™ and AlbuVoid™ come from a class of novel surface-coupled elastomeric polymers. By combining elements of polymer composition, surface architecture and charge properties, reactivity is governed along a flexible polymer chain. AlbuSorb and AlbuVoid are economically advantageous in high throughput operations.

The Biotech Support Group’s albumin depletion kits specifically remove high abundant proteins from human plasma and serum in preparation for further proteomics analysis such as one- or two-dimensional electrophoresis, single or multidimensional chromatography or mass spectrometry. Dr. Swapan Roy, President of Biotech Support Group, LLC says “ Our products utilize a fast procedure because they have a easy-to-use spin column format and high throughput 96-well formats; which serves to save time and streamlines analysis. The kit is unique in the sense that it is not based on any specific antibodies. As a result, the kit can be used to deplete serum proteins from a wide variety of samples, including humans and animals.”

Established in 1995, Biotech Support Group is a New Jersey based company that manufactures and markets proprietary products for genomics and proteomics research.

Currently, Biotech Support Group and ProFACT Proteomics Inc., are collaborating on the development of new products used in profiling serum protein for proteomic analysis. In addition, we also develop products specifically targeted for proteomics and genomics.

Biotech Support Group specializes in three areas:

Proteomic and Genomic sample preparation and enrichment products, & NuGel-polymer coated affinity silica matrices, TSK-Gel® HPLC columns , services supporting proteomics, protein modification, immobilization and bioseparations.
