Rough handling and proteins do not necessarily go well together. As proteins are extremely sensitive and can easily be degraded during the process of concentration, purification, and storage, they need to be handled with utmost care to reduce, if not eliminate, the risk of unwanted aggregation and/or degradation.

What is protein enrichment and why is there a need for it? Basically, protein enrichment is a technique where proteins of interest in a biological sample are concentrated to make them more suitable for identification and downstream analysis.

Researchers have traditionally used agarose beads for immunoprecipitation (IP). However, there has been a growing trend in recent years favoring the use of magnetic beads. According to a recent survey of 1,013 scientists, 60% of the respondents will start using magnetic technology in the next three years.
