We offer an array of sample preparation and instrumentation services, as well as method development and in-depth consultation to help researchers optimize their experimental design based on their experimental goals. The facility is equipped with five state-of-the-art mass spectrometry systems: Thermo QExactive HF, Thermo QExactive HF Biopharma, Thermo Fusion Lumos Tribrid, Thermo Exploris480, and a Thermo Astral. In addition to the mass spectrometers, we have a Thermo Ultimate3000, three Thermo Easy nLC 1200s, an Evosep One, a Vanquish Neo UHPLC, a Vanquish Horizon UHPLC, and a 908 Devices ZipChip capillary electrophoresis device for up-front separation. We have an Agilent 1260 Infinity II HPLC for offline peptide fractionation. We are also now equipped with a Thermo AccelerOme for automated high-throughput sample preparation.

We offer several proteomics services including: protein identification, protein characterization, post-translational modification (PTM) mapping / profiling (for example: phosphoproteomics, acetylomics), large-scale proteomic profiling, intact mass analysis, and affinity purification analyses. We can perform these services quantitatively using labeled (TMT10plex/16plex/18plex) or label-free approaches (DDA or DIA). Comprehensive data analysis is provided through a variety of database search engines and software packages including Proteome Discoverer, MaxQuant, Byos, Spectronaut, and Skyline. We can also aid in bioinformatics analysis using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA), Gene Ontology, Perseus, and R.
