Introducing microwave-assisted proteomic sample preparation!

The CEM Discover® System provides fast, dependable results in minutes!

Ideal for:

• Membrane solubilizations - dramatically increases protein recovery
• ICAT & iTRAQ™ tagging - improves tagging efficiency
• In-gel & Solution digests - 5-10 minute digests with improved coverage

We help chemists explore the unlimited potential of their creativity. The Discover® System is the most versatile and convenient platform available for microwave-assisted organic synthesis. CEM offers an array of modules for the base system that can be used with "plug and play" ease, making Discover both customizable and extremely cost-effective.

• Focused™ Microwave cavity design for the most efficient use of energy
• Precise control of temperature and power
• Simultaneous cooling - patented feature that allows microwave energy input while maintaining low to moderate temperatures
• Flexible - open architecture design allows introduction of a variety of different sample types

Experience the difference microwave makes!

MALDI-TOF Analysis of Transferrin Digest*

MALDI spectra of Transferrin. Traditional digest for 16 hours (blue) and 10 minute microwave digest (red). The microwave digest resulted in approximately 10% more sequence coverage and 10% fewer missed cleavages.
