RapiGest SF, 1 mg , 5/pk

Improve protein enzymatic digestions in terms of speed and percent recovery with the Waters RapiGest SF(surfactant). RapiGest is a patented anionic surfactant that speeds up the in-solution production of peptides generated by proteases, such as trypsin, Asp-N, Glu-C, and Lys-C.

Solubilize and unfold proteins with the RapiGest SF by making them more amenable to cleavage without denaturing or inhibiting common proteolytic enzymes as it is a mild denaturant. This is significant since many hydrophobic proteins are resistant to proteolysis because their cleavage sites are inaccessible to endoproteases.

Benefits of RapiGest include improving the protein sequence coverage and reducing sample preparation time. It also reduces digestion time and requires fewer enzymes to achieve optimum digestion. Digestion of enzyme resistant proteins such as membrane proteins is also improved with RapiGest. It is especially valuable in protein sample preparation for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis by avoiding high background noise often seen from other common surfactants, making it a valuable addition to your lab equipment.

The five pack of RapiGest SF 1 mg vials contains enough material for anywhere from 1 to 50 digestions, making it a superb option for anyone looking to enhance digestion speed and increase peptide recovery. The RapiGest SF, 50 mg, 1/pk is available in other formats and the vial sizes vary from 1mg to 10mg and 50 mg.
