The Proteomics and Metabolomics core is empowered by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technology, which is outfitted with various LC system suitable for different application and three top-line mass spectrometers, name as ThermoScientific Orbitrap Exploris 480, Bruker timsTOF HT and RapifleX MALDI TOF/TOF. By leveraging the power of mass spectrometry, optimized workflow and advanced bioinformatic analysis, we provide one-stop solutions to meet users’ needs for proteomics and metabolomics. The specific services are listed below:
1. Shotgun Protein Identification
• In-solution tryptic digestion, in-gel digestion and desalting service available
• Database search using PEAKS Studio (DDA & direct-DIA)
2. Protein Quantification
• Label-free Quantification (DDA or direct-DIA)
3. Direct infusion MS analysis for high purity sample (small molecule)
4. Untargeted Metabolomics Analysis (single mode)
5. Molecular Mass Determination
6. Peptide Mass Fingerprinting (PMF)
7. MALDI Imaging
