Spirulina

For SILAM-based applications, CIL offers uniformly 15N-labeled and unlabeled Mouse Express® mouse feeds that have been prepared using the algae Arthrospira platensis (commonly referred to as spirulina). The 15N feed has been formulated to provide only 15N-labeled protein, together with the other nutrients/vitamins required for normal growth. In addition to the feed, CIL offers unlabeled or uniform labeled (U-13C, U-15N) spirulina whole cells (lyophilized powders).

Please view the availability, pricing, and specifications of these mouse feed offerings and inquire if further information or a quote is required. For additional background and resources, visit the SILAM product page.

Spirulina Whole Cells

Mouse Express (15N, 98%) Mouse Feed

Animal models provide a powerful system for the study of molecular mechanisms associated with disease. To aid SILAM-MS proteomics research, CIL offers uniform stable isotope-labeled and unlabeled spirulina whole cells as lyophilized powders. The labeled spirulina cells help uniformly label a proteome with a stable isotope (e.g., 13C – catalog no. CLM-8400).

Details on these spirulina whole cells, as well as spirulina-based mouse feeds, can be found at our SILAM Feeds product page.

For SILAM-based applications, CIL offers Mouse Express® mouse feed prepared with spirulina having uniform 15N-labeling at an isotopic enrichment of 98%. This feed is used to metabolically label the entire mouse proteome with 15N, which enables broad ‘omics analysis and a wide selection of 15N peptides for quantitative MS analysis. The feed can be irradiated or nonirradiated, with the labeled packaged together in a kit with its unlabeled for expanded research opportunities. Each kit consists of 1 kg of both 15N-labeled and unlabeled spirulina mouse feed.
