Progenta Surfactants

Progenta™ Acid Labile Surfactants are novel, acid cleavable surfactants which facilitate quick, clean sample analysis free from the disruptive background noise commonly caused by molecules like SDS and CHAPS.

Progenta surfactants are fully mass spec compatible and are engineered to provide a safe alternative to other surfactants commonly used in proteomic workflows. These surfactants work with a wide variety of sample types, and can be quickly and efficiently removed from samples by acidification. Progenta surfactants enhance proteomics sample preparation workflows.
