MassPREP Hemoglobin Digestion Standard
MassPREP HEMoglobin DigEstion stanDaRD
i. intRoDuction
The MassPREP ™ protein digestion standard was prepared by digesting bovine
hemoglobin (SwissProt HBA P0966, HBB P02070) with sequencing grade
Trypsin. The sample was reduced and alkylated (iodoacetamide) prior to diges-
tion. The resulting digest does not contain any undigested protein, Trypsin,
alkylation/reduction agents, or very hydrophilic components. Each batch of
Bovine Hemoglobin digestion standard is prepared under strict quality control
criteria confirmed on the included certificate of analysis. Protein digestion stan-
dards may be used for a variety of applications, including evaluation of HPLC
columns, evaluation of mass spectrometry and chromatography instrumentation
performance, mass spectrometer calibration, or as an HPLC standard.
ii. stoRagE anD stability
The lyophilized powder is stable at room temperature until the expiration
date printed on the label. Once reconstituted in high purity water or in 0. %
trifluoroacetic acid in water, the solution is stable for one week when stored at
8 °C. Stability can be extended by freezing samples at -20 °C.
Note: The contamination of sample with endo- and exopeptidase enzymes may
cause rapid sample degradation.
iii. REconstitution of MassPREP PRotEin DigEstion
stanDaRD foR HPlc
The protein digestion standards were prepared by digesting nmole of pro-
tein. For HPLC column evaluation, the recommended sample dilution is 00
μl of 0. % trifluoroacetic acid in water, or 0.- % formic acid in water.
Injection volumes and mass loads are shown in Table .
Table 1: Recommended Mass Load for HPLC Columns Evaluation
* Calculated for peptide with molecular weight of 1500 g/mol
iV. REconstitution of MassPREP PRotEin DigEstion
stanDaRD foR MalDi Ms
. Dissolve protein digestion standard in .0 mL of 0.% trifluoroacetic
acid/0 % acetonitrile (v/v). The concentration of peptides in this stock
solution is ~ pmol/μl.
2. Dispense 20 μl aliquots in 0.5 ml eppendorf tube and store at -20 °C
prior to use.
3. Thaw the content of a tube and add 80 μl of deionized water. The
concentration of this working solution is 00 fmol/μl.
4. Mix μl of standard with μl of MALDI matrix (high quality MassPREP
MALDI Matrix is recommended, see table below). Deposit μl on the
MALDI target for analysis.
V. oRDERing infoRMation
Note: Each MassPREP Digestion standard is sufficient for a thousand or more
MALDI MS analyses.
MSDS information: Waters Digestion Standards contain various non hazardous
peptides in powder form. They are for laboratory use only; solely for purposes of
scientific experimentation, analysis, research or development. Waters Digestion
Standards should be used only as directed and in accordance with good labora-
tory practice. All Waters Digestion Standards are non hazardous as defined
by OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 90.200(c) and
Appendix A and B, and are thus exempt from the requirements of the Hazard
Communication Standard, including the requirement to supply MSDSs.
