Mass drift and Weekly ProteinChip 20 min to 1 hr This test uses the ProteinChip
resolution at peptide peptide standard array to
5.96 kD standard array measure the mass drift and
resolution of insulin. These
measurements are compared to a
specification, and a pass/fail
disposition is obtained.
TTeesstt 33
Resolution at Weekly ProteinChip 20 min to 1 hr This test uses the ProteinChip
1 kD peptide peptide standard array to
standard array measure the resolution of
Arg-vasopressin. These
measurements are compared to
a specification, and a pass/fail
disposition is obtained. The test
is run in higher-resolution
(lower source voltage) mode.
TTeesstt 44
Mass Weekly ProteinChip 30 min to 1 hr This test evaluates the mass
accuracy peptide accuracy when compared to
standard internal and external
array calibrations. These measurements
are compared to a specification,
and a pass/fail disposition is
obtained.
1.2 Storage and Handling
Store the arrays supplied in the kit in the original packaging at room temperature and in a dry
and dark location. Each array is individually wrapped. Do not open the array packaging until
ready to use. Take care when handling the ProteinChip arrays to avoid contaminating or disturbing
the matrix crystals on the surface of the arrays.
