Using Protein Crash and Solid Phase Extraction Techniques for Biological Sample Preparation

Unwanted biomolecules need to be removed from serum, blood, urine, semen, spinal fluid, and other ex-vivo samples so that quantitative analysis of tiny molecules can be performed using LC-MS systems. The main components that need removing are proteins because these macromolecules become sticky and can damage chromatography columns. These large proteins can clog up the tiny holes in chromatography columns.
