Ostro Protein Precipitation & Phospholipid Removal Plate, 25 mg, 1/pk

As part of the Ostro Pass-Through Sample Preparation family of products, the Ostro Protein Precipitation & Phospholipid Removal Plate contributes to a simple solution for scientists looking to perform sample cleanup. Waters" Ostro Protein Precipitation & Phospholipid Removal Plate enable rapid sample processing that requires little to no method development, reproducible sample cleanup that allows more predictable analyses, and less system downtime as a result of contamination of columns and instruments from dirty samples. The 96-well plate format used in this product enables higher throughput and is compatible with automation and a variety of complex sample matrices.

The Ostro Protein Precipitation & Phospholipid Removal Plate offers a novel approach to the removal of phospholipids from biological samples, with an in-well protein precipitation that is used in combination with a single, rapid, pass-through method. This pairing provides consistent, high extraction recoveries for acids, bases, and neutrals alike. With the goals of a bioanalytical scientist in mind, Ostro Protein Precipitation & Phospholipid Removal Plates can enhance performance by providing excellent reproducibility, improved recovery, and increased phospholipid removal when compared with other, competitive techniques.

The Ostro Protein Precipitation & Phospholipid Removal Plate can be quickly implemented into routine protocols, producing clean extracts and superior reproducibility and resulting in consistent, robust methods with higher throughput. This makes the plate suitable for forensics, toxicology, bioanalysis, and food or beverage analysis, offering these scientists easy implementation and speed, avoiding long methods development periods.

Waters strives to provide predictable performance through reproducibility, and the Ostro Pass-Through Sample Preparation products, including plates, are manufactured to deliver excellent recovery across batches of products, giving scientists confidence in their analysis. The in-well protein precipitation is designed using a straight forward, 6 step procedure intended to help produce filtrates free of proteins and other endogenous components. These filtrates are highly suited to high-throughput LC/MC/MS analysis.

FAQs About Ostro Protein Precipitation & Phospholipid Removal Plate, 25 mg, 1/pk

1. What types of samples can be processed using the Ostro Plate?
The Ostro Protein Precipitation & Phospholipid Removal Plate is designed to process biological samples such as plasma, serum, and whole blood. It is particularly effective for samples that require both protein precipitation and the removal of phospholipids to prepare analytes for downstream analysis.
This plate is suitable for complex matrices commonly encountered in pharmaceutical, clinical, and toxicology workflows. By efficiently removing unwanted matrix components, the Ostro Plate ensures clean extracts that improve analytical performance in techniques such as LC-MS and HPLC.

2. Is the Ostro Plate compatible with high-throughput workflows?
Yes, the Ostro Plate is fully compatible with high-throughput workflows. Its 96-well format is specifically designed for automated and semi-automated systems, allowing for the simultaneous processing of multiple samples. This high-throughput capability makes it an excellent choice for laboratories handling large sample volumes, such as those in pharmaceutical development or clinical research.
The plate's design minimizes manual intervention, streamlines sample preparation, and reduces processing time, enabling efficient and reproducible results for high-throughput analytical workflows.

3. Can the plate be used for both plasma and serum samples?
Yes, the Ostro Plate is suitable for use with both plasma and serum samples. Its dual-functionality design efficiently removes proteins and phospholipids from these biological matrices, resulting in clean extracts ready for analysis. Plasma and serum samples, often laden with proteins and lipids that can interfere with LC-MS or HPLC, benefit from the plate's ability to improve analyte recovery and enhance sensitivity. This versatility makes it an ideal solution for applications in clinical research, pharmaceutical analysis, and toxicology studies.
