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 />
