Tip-on-Tip Protein Precipitation

Automated INTip™ solution as an alternative to centrifugation

Purpose and Objective 

  • Introduce innovative, automated multi-purpose INTip solution as an alternative to centrifugation utilizing a patent pending Tip-on-Tip technology.
  • Demonstrates the feasibility of a novel and rapid protein precipitation method, often referred to as “protein crash”.
  • Develop automated methodology to minimize laborious manual steps such as vortex mixing and centrifugation and maximize throughput.
  • This method can be extended to many areas of science, including drug discovery, metabolomics, and clinical trial studies.
  • This automated procedure could be applied to applications such as gelatin removal from drug formulations or processing cell lysates.
