Specialists in Proteomic & Genomic Sample Preparation and Enrichment
Biotech Support Group (BSG) specialise in the development of new methods for sample preparation and enrichment. The applications for this technology are designed to improve data quality and workflow efficiency in proteomic & biomarker analysis.
The “omics” revolution required new sample preparation separations that were not efficiently performed by conventional technologies. For years, protein separations kits were limited to liquid chromatography and gel electrophoresis. Whilst effective for many applications, these tools were not efficient for “omics” sample preparation where throughput, economy and simplicity is required. Furthermore, these separation tools often denatured proteins, limiting their use in applications which required the measurement of function, structure or bio-activity. Such retained functional and structural properties are essential for functional proteomics and enrichment of enzyme biomarkers – important new areas for translational research.
The mission of Biotech Support Group (BSG) now serves the explosive growth in proteomic sample preparation with unique and proprietary surface chemistries. While selective protein binding is the focus of the surface chemistries, their products crossover to other “omic” fields, finding applications in genomics & DNA isolation, and metabolomics.
Biotech Support Group’s portfolio offer removal & enrichment kits for proteins including haemoglobin, albumin and urine protein amongst many others.

The BSG Advantage
All products from Biotech Support Group have the following common features and advantages:
- Cost-Effective consumable products: not derived from biologicals
- Diverse strategies for enrichment/depletion: All products support strategies for both enrichment of low abundance proteomes, or depletion of high abundance proteins.
3. On-bead digestion to improve data quality and workflow efficiency:
– Equivalent of better than in-solution digestion
– Seamless to LC-MS; no desalting or C18 separations
4. Maintenance of functional integrity throughout all stages of separation
– Mild buffer conditions maintains native structure with retained enzymatic, functional &
bio-activities
– Supports enzyme biomarker assays
