Proteomics Core Laboratory

The Proteomics Core Facility is a mass spectrometry facility dedicated to the characterization of proteins and peptides. This facility provides advice and services pertaining to peptide synthesis, protein sequencing, mass spectrometry, amino acid analysis, and more.

Basic User fees include all standard solvents (ie water, methanol, acetonitrile, isopropanol, but not deuterated solvents), columns (ie C4, C8, C18, other types may cost more), calibrants (for esi and maldi) and routine consumables (sample vials, filter vials, pipet tips etc.., but use of zip-tips or whatman filter vials may incur a charge if needed in excessive quantity, check the website for details).
Please inquire for unusual requirements.
