Join the Early Access Program for Protein Fractionation with SageELF
13 May 2015Product news
At ASMS this year, Sage Science will be showcasing its SageELF proteomic tool and accepting additional labs into its Early Access Program for the instrument. The SageELF performs automated 1D fractionation of proteins, generating 12 size fractions. The tool reduces complexity of a sample and increases sensitivity for detecting lower-abundance proteins.
Sage Science will have two poster presentations at ASMS demonstrating the SageELF for protein quantification and analysis. Poster ThP 339, “Total protein profiling employing a novel protein fractionation method combined with tandem mass tag labeling,” reports the results of a collaborative effort between scientists from Cell Signaling Technology and Sage Science. In it, they compared mass spec workflows using tandem mass tag labeling with and without automated fractionation on the SageELF using human gastric carcinoma cells.
A separate poster (ThP 596, “Enhanced detection of host-cell proteins in biotherapeutic preparations using preparative electrophoresis followed by LC – Ion Mobility – MS”) comes from researchers at Sage Science and Waters Corporation. In the poster, they report results from an investigation of whether automated protein fractionation boosts sensitivity of detection for host-cell proteins in biotherapeutics. The scientists used a murine monoclonal antibody with SageELF for preparative fractionation; analysis was performed with 1D nanoflow chromatography paired with a Waters SYNAPT G2-Si HDMS mass spectrometer.

SageELF Sample Fractionator for DNA and Protein
Sage ScienceThe SageELF is an automated, whole-sample fractionation system for NGS sample prep. SageELF, a whole-sample fractionation tool, is now shipping from Sage Science, developer of the Pippin automated DNA size selection system. The SageELF (short for Electrophoretic Lateral Fractionator) generates 12 contiguous fractions from a whole DNA sample, allowing scientists to generate libraries with multiple insert sizes from the same sample, which has applications in genome sequencing, structural variant detection, and identification of rare splice variants. This sample prep instrument will also be especially useful for preserving precious samples. Users simply load their sample, start the run, and pipette out the fractions later. Unlike in-gel digestion, in which some DNA fragments never leave the gel, the whole DNA sample is electrophoresed into the elution modules.Sage Science targets labor-intensive steps in the sample prep process where automation can offer improved precision and reproducibility. Precise size selection is critical for optimizing sequencing efficiency, improving genome assemblies, and reducing NGS project costs.Features: Make libraries with multiple insert sizes from the same sample Ideal for rare or precious samples Automated for precise, reproducible results Applications: Genome sequencing Structural variant detection Rare splice variant detection
