Inaccuracies in Quantification of Peptides – A Case Study Using Beta Endorphin Assay
Here, we present two possible sources of errors that may both contribute to significant inaccuracy in peptide assay methods: the filtration material (cellulose) used in sample clean up and the vial material (glass and plastic) used in liquid chromatographic analysis. This study is based on β-endorphin but has relevance for most peptide assays. More... |
