U30-S06. Protein or peptide separation by liquid chromatography

Protein or peptide separation by liquid chromatography

Separation of complex protein or peptide mixtures using chromatography columns. The chromatographic services offered by the Unit include strong cation exchange (IEX), reversed phase (C18), gel filtration and immunoaffinity for the removal of the top 14 most abundant proteins in human plasma.

Customer benefits

Fractionation of complex protein or peptide samples prior to proteomic or protein analysis. Processing of serum, plasma and other biofluids for shotgun proteomics analysis through the depletion of their most abundant proteins.

Target customer

This strategy is employed to verify or validate biological hypotheses with the highest specificity, as it detects the protein sequence and is not dependent on antibodies.

U30-S05. Targeted proteomics analysis by MRM or PRM-MS

Targeted proteomics analysis by MRM or PRM-MS

Relative or absolute quantification of individual proteins or protein panels by the analysis of their peptides together with stable isotope labelled (SIL) standards.

Customer benefits

This strategy is employed to verify or validate biological hypotheses with the highest specificity, as it detects the protein sequence and is not dependent on antibodies. The use of isotope labelled standards allows the absolute quantification of the protein/s of interest.

Target customer

Organizations and research groups interested in the analysis and quantification of a protein or panel of proteins with high specificity.

U30-S04. Quantitative shotgun proteomics by nLC-MS/MS

Quantitative shotgun proteomics by nLC-MS/MS

Large-scale relative quantification of proteins in biological samples by nano-flow high performance liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry. It can use either data-dependent (DDA) or data-independent (DIA) acquisition modes. Quantifications can be performed via label-free (LFQ) or protein/peptide isotopic labelling using SILAC, iTRAQ or TMT reagents.

Customer benefits

The output of this analyses are lists of proteins identified in the samples, together with quantitative information obtained from the area displayed by each peptide in the mass spectra, and can then be compared across experimental conditions.

Target customer

Organizations and research groups interested in biomarker discovery, drug discovery (protein target identification), development of precision medicine approaches, etc.

U30-S03. Protein identification by mass spectrometry (MS) or MS/MS

Protein identification by mass spectrometry (MS) or MS/MS

Identification of proteins in biological samples, either by intact protein analysis (MALDI-TOF) or protein digestion followed by peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF, MS) or peptide fragmentation (MS/MS).

Customer benefits

Identification of proteins by mass spectrometry allows the characterization of biological samples, analysis of protein interactions (e.g. pull-down assays), peptide sequencing, etc. Identifications are performed with the highest specificity.

Target customer

Organizations and research groups interested in small or large-scale protein analysis.

U30-S01. Sample preparation for proteomic analysis

Sample preparation for proteomic analysis

This service includes all necessary steps to prepare samples for different proteomic analyses: protein extraction from tissues, cells or fluids, precipitation, cleaning, desalting, quantification and digestion (in gel or in solution) with proteolytic enzimes (trypsin, chymotrypsin, lys-C…), to obtain the correspondent peptides.

Customer benefits

Biological samples are processed and prepared following standardized protocols by personnel highly specialized in techniques for protein analysis.
The service allows organizations without prior experience in protein or proteomic analysis to avoid performing any experiment, only needing to provide the biological specimen to the Unit.

Target customer

Organizations or research groups interested in performing protein or proteomic analyses in a wide range of biological samples: cells, tissues, biofluids, protein extracts, etc.
