Work with the Albumin Removal Kit is straightforward. Mix the beads with serum or plasma samples and incubate them with continuous rotation. The beads remain suspended in the sample solution during mixing, allowing all other proteins in the sample (except albumin and IgG) to bind to the beads. After incubation, the beads are collected and separated from the sample using a magnet rack. Then the bound proteins are eluted.
●
Quick, Easy, eliminates columns, centrifuge, or filters
●
Remove >95% IgG and 90% Albumin
●
High throughput: Rapidly process up to 96 samples in less than 30 minutes
●
Low abundance enrichment is equal to or better than hexapeptides or antibodies
●
Mild elution preserves the tertiary structure and allows for easy transfer to secondary analysis
●
Scalable – easily adjusts for sample size and automation
●
Minimal sample dilution
●
Suitable for LC-MS, activity-based protein profiling, and proteomic research
Note
●
The following protocol is an example. Protein concentrations in serum might vary. Ten microliters of human serum have about 700µg of complete protein. About 70% of that will be human serum albumin and IgG. The amount of serum used in each response should be optimized by the user. Overloading the system may result in albumin carryover into the low abundant protein fraction. Using the given protocol, the user should expect a typical elution to include 50-100µg of serum protein.
●
The samples are eluted in a salt-containing buffer and may need to be desalted before electrophoresis or mass spectrometry analysis. If the sample is sufficiently diluted before analysis, desalting may not be required.

Procedure
Note:
●
Vigorously shake the bottle until the magnetic beads become homogeneous.
●
Do not allow the magnetic beads to sit for more than 5 minutes before dispensing.
1.
Transfer 40 μl beads to a fresh tube or a new 96well PCR plate, Microplate, or 0.2ml PCR tube and add 50 μl binding buffer to a final 90 μL reaction volume.
2.
Add 10 μl serum sample and mix the sample with beads by slowly pipetting up and down 20-25 times, or Vortex the sample at 2000 rpm for 5 minutes (see picture).
3.
Place the sample plate/tube on the magnetic separation plate for 30 seconds or until the solution is clear.
4.
Discard the supernatant while the sample plate remains on the magnetic separation plate.
5.
Wash the beads with 100 μL of the binding buffer by slowly pipetting up and down 20-25 times, or Vortex the sample at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes. Place the sample plate/ tube on the magnetic separation plate for 30 seconds or until the solution is clear.
6.
Repeat step 5 once.
7.
Resuspend the beads in 50-100μl of Elution Buffer and mix the sample with beads by slowly pipetting up and down 20-25 times, or Vortex the sample at 2000 rpm for 5 minutes.
8.
Transfer the supernatant to a fresh microcentrifuge tube or microtiter plate well. The supernatant containing the proteins of interest is ready for downstream applications.
