Mass Spectrometry

The APC is equipped with an Orbitrap LTQ XL ETD (Thermo Fisher Scientific), amaZon ETD (Bruker Daltonics), ultrafleXtreme and ultraflex III MALDI-TOFs (Bruker Daltonics).

We offer the following mass spectrometry based analytical workflows as standard services.  Our team of experts also offers custom analyses, high throughput screening and QC services on arrangement [enquire].

Protein identification by MS/MS The masses of peptides produced by proteolysis of proteins are measured with high accuracy, selected peptides are fragmented and the resulting data are matched against sequence databases to determine the protein's identity.[more information]
Biomolecule mass measurement The mass of proteins/peptides, oligosaccharides, lipids or nucleic acids can be determined with high accuracy. Extent of modification (proteolytic, post-translational or chemical) can be determined. Mass profiles of biological fluids can be made.

Accurate mass measurement allows for elucidation of elemental composition. CID and ETD fragmentation modes are possible. [more information]
