TECHNICAL REPORT

Ultra Low Binding Tubes – by Micronic

Research centers and other laboratory facilities normally use small sample volumes for reasons such as storage space, limited sample availability, and so on. For this reason, it is extremely important to utilize a low binding tube in order to recover the maximum amount of sample. 

When the interaction between the sample and the tube surface is minimized, more protein can be recovered for downstream analysis. In proteomics or other protein field research such as antibodies, cell biology, and peptide drugs, maximum sample recovery is critical due to the small amount of the protein concentration.  Contact us to request the full article
