IV. ORDERING INFORMATION
The Biopharmaceutical Training Kit comes in two separate boxes. The Biopharmaceutical Training Standard Kit (see Table 1) contains
the standards. This kit is shipped at ambient temperatures, however upon receipt of this kit, please store at -20 °C to maximize long
term stability. The Biopharmaceutical Training Prep Kit (see Table 2) contains the materials needed for solubilization and standard prep.
This kit is shipped at ambient temperatures and can be stored at room temperature. Once any component is opened, use right away for
optimum results.
I. INTRODUCTION
The Biopharmaceutical Training Kit is designed to provide trainers
and customers with high quality standards that can be utilized as a
starting point for running biopharmaceutical applications on their
Waters UPLC inlet with Tof or Q-Tof mass spectrometry detection
systems. The training kit pulls together many of the individual
standard samples that are often used in demos and training classes,
including reference compounds for calibration and lockmass. T his
kit provides a foundation for biopharmaceutical LC-MS analysis and
can be used for optimization of methods prior to running valuable
samples to ensure system performance and confidence in results.
