Description
Analysis of human fluids is often complicated by the presence of high concentrations of serum proteins, including albumin and IgG that can make up more than 70% of total serum protein. Removal of albumin, immunoglobulins, and other abundant proteins is essential for the study of low-abundance proteins. Thermo Scientific High Select HSA/Immunoglobulin and Top 14 Abundant Protein depletion spin columns and resins enable depletion of the most abundant proteins in human serum and plasma for improved detection of low-abundance proteins using mass spectrometry analysis or 1D or 2D gel electrophoresis.
• Optimized—removes >95% of IgG and >95% of albumin (HSA/Immunoglobulin); removes >95% of IgG and >95% of albumin, plus 12 other abundant proteins (Top 14)
• Fast—process samples in ∼10 minutes
• Economical—cost-effective spin columns are priced for single use
• Reduced carry-over—one-time use prevents protein carryover and experimental variability
High Select HSA/Immunoglobulin Depletion Resin uses highly specific, immobilized anti-HSA and anti-immuoglobulin antibodies (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, and IgE) to remove human serum albumin (HSA) and all major subclasses of immunoglobulins from serum and plasma. High Select Top14 Abundant Protein Depletion Resin uses highly specific immobilized antibodies to remove human serum albumin (HSA), albumin, IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE, kappa and lambda light chains, alpha-1-acidglycoprotein, alpha-1-antitrypsin, alpha-2-macroglobulin, apolipoprotein A1, fibrinogen, haptoglobin, and transferrin from serum, plasma, or spinal fluids. The resins are provided in an economical and convenient spin column format specifically designed for one-step processing and single use or bulk format for custom filling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The High Select Top14 Abundant Protein Depletion Midi Spin Columns have only been validated for human samples. We do not recommend using them for protein depletion in rodent samples. For protein depletion in rodent samples, we recommend the following multi-species depletion resins:
- CaptureSelect MultiSpecies Albumin Depletion Product (Cat. No. 191085305)
- Pierce Albumin Serum Depletion Kits (Cat. No. 89875)
Our High Select Top14 Abundant Protein Depletion Mini Spin Columns have been tested and validated for protein depletion only on human plasma and serum, with each column optimized to bind up to 10 µL of sample.
We have not tested our product on cell culture media or with serum from different species, therefore we do not recommend using this product with cell culture media.
No. The Top14 Abundant Protein Depletion Mini Spin Columns (Cat. No. A36369) do not come in a 96-well format. However, we do have a Top14 Abundant Protein Depletion Resin (Cat. No. A36372) that can be purchased as a stand-alone product.
Depletion does not remove all abundant proteins from the sample. Even with 99% depletion of a specific plasma protein, highly abundant proteins will still be the most abundant proteins in the sample detected by MS analysis. However, depletion significantly decreases the most abundant plasma proteins enabling identification of lower abundant proteins.
After the depletion, samples are significantly diluted in buffer. Depleted samples should be concentrated by speed vac drying, solvent precipitation, or diafiltration. Samples dried using a speedvac are directly compatible with the EasyPep kit chemistry after resuspension using the Lysis Solution.
