Biopolymers

  • Proteins
    • LC-MS of purified proteins for molecular weight determination. See an example of a mass spectrum of a pure protein on QStar Elite
      • Sample submission: (1) consulting with the mass spectrometry specialist for sample preparation; (2) amino acid sequence of the protein
      • Results: (1) raw mass spectrum; (2) deconvoluted spectrum with measured molecular weight; (3) theoretical molecular weight and error calculation
      • Rates: $20 for academia and $60 for non-academia
    • LC-MS of protein mixtures. See an example of LC-MS of a protein mixture for measuring molecular weights of component proteins on QStar Elite
