ISOLUTE PLD+ protein and phospholipid removal products offer a substantial improvement in extract cleanliness compared to traditional protein precipitation techniques for bioanalytical sample preparation. Requiring next to no method development, ISOLUTE PLD+ can be integrated quickly and easily into routine workflow, increasing productivity and reducing instrument downtime.

This application note describes a simple, effective ISOLUTE PLD+ protocol for the extraction of methylmalonic acid (MMA) from serum, demonstrating high, reproducible analyte recoveries with low protein and phospholipid content in the extracts.
