Label-free Detection of Proteins in Gels via UV-LIF - PROTEOMIC TOOLS

Contact: Dr. Katja Tönsing

     
    Based on our optical detection technology, we filed a (world-wide) patent for the ultrasensitive and label-free detection of proteins in 1D/2D-PAGE gels by UV-LIF together with our industrial partner SOLVIAS (Basel). The new technology allows fast, efficient and sensitive (1 ng) protein detection in gels with a label- and staining-free protocol with a mass dynamic of 4 orders of magnitude.

Testing of UV-LIF Detection Technology With Proteomic Applications

    We currently explore the limits and possibilities of this fascinating technology with interested partners in the field of proteomics.
