The Sample Preparation<br />
Target materials in biological <strong>sample</strong>s are commonly<br />
present in trace amounts among larger quantities of<br />
numerous impurities or components such as:<br />
• Salts<br />
• Buffers<br />
• Detergents<br />
• Polyacrylamide Gels<br />
• Excess Dyes<br />
• Radiolabels<br />
• Small undesired molecules like primers, peptides,<br />
inhibitors & drugs<br />
These impurities or components may have to be completely<br />
removed before analysis.<br />
Some target materials must also be enriched before they<br />
can be quantified or characterized, for example, by mass<br />
spectrometry. Without <strong>sample</strong> <strong>preparation</strong>, some<br />
instrumental methods like MS may not allow direct<br />
identification of specific molecules due to high background<br />
signals from contaminating molecules in the <strong>sample</strong>.<br />
There is currently no single method of purification that is<br />
applicable to all <strong>sample</strong>s. Appropriate <strong>sample</strong> <strong>preparation</strong><br />
methods are used depending on the type of target material<br />
and the <strong>sample</strong> composition.<br />
This is why the <strong>Harvard</strong> <strong>Apparatus</strong> Sample Preparation<br />
Group provides a broad range of solutions for your <strong>sample</strong><br />
<strong>preparation</strong> needs. For example, our equilibrium dialysis<br />
products are widely used for measuring ligand binding<br />
between plasma proteins and drugs or drug candidates, Free<br />
T4, Free T3, Free Cortisol, Free Testosterone, to name a few.<br />
The following pages list the summary, features and<br />
ordering information for the range of Molecular Sample<br />

CPK Models<br />
The most accurate molecular models<br />
available! CPK models are the<br />
American Society of Biological<br />
Chemists sanctioned models. They are<br />
accurate in size, bond angles and bond<br />
flexibility.<br />
These models are Ideal for:<br />
• Court room models to explain<br />
chemical structures<br />
• Teaching students molecular<br />
structure/ activity studies<br />
• When models are needed for new<br />
drug presentations<br />
• Verifying configurations created by<br />
computer models packages<br />
