Mass Spectrometry Service Specification

Isobaric Label Quantitative Proteomics services are performed using nano-flow liquid chromatography and cutting-edge mass spectrometer (Q Exactive HF/HF-X).
  • Sample Preparation and Services

    • The QC of enzymatic hydrolysis and labeling steps are strictly controlled by LC-MS DDA analysis
    • 1h/fraction; 20 fractions for eukaryotes;10 fractions for prokaryotes
  • Quality Standard

    • Summary includes all methods and data analysis
    • Reports provided in Excel or PDF format, RAW files available upon request
  • Turn Around Time

    • Typical 4-5 weeks from sample QC acceptance to data report delivery
