Can I use methanol as a precipitation solvent for the Sirocco Protein Precipitation plate? - WKB267034
Article number: 267034
ENVIRONMENT
- Sirocco
- 96-well plate format
- Plasma protein precipitation
- Solvent
- Methanol
ANSWER
Methanol is not the recommended crash solvent to use with the Sirocco Protein Precipitation plate.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Methanol produces a stringy, viscous plasma precipitation that more easily clogs the Sirocco plate wells.
Acetonitrile produces a precipitation that is more likely to pellet and be less viscous.
