Cost and Turnaround

Price includes in-gel digestion of gel band or spot, nanospray LC/MS/MS analysis, protein identification from a search against the NCBI nonredundant database, and a report emailed to you as a Adobe Acrobat (pdf) file. Prices do not include running (separating) your sample on a gel or excision of gel band or spots (please contact us if you need this done).

In-gel digestions, nanospray LC/MS/MS, and protein identification:

Nanospray LC/MS/MS and protein identification only
(you have already digested your samples):

Note that the typical 1 week turnaround on protein identifications may not always be possible for 20 or more samples.

Phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and other posttranslational modification analysis:

• Optimized in-gel or in-solution digestion with up to two enzymes
• A report detailing purity of sample (to check if your protein of interest is the major protein in the sample)
• A report from the initial screen for the posttranslational modification
• Manual confirmation of up to 4 sites of posttranslational modification on the protein of interest
• A final report with publication-quality results (includes up to two annotated MS/MS spectra from the observed phosphorylation sites, this is sometime requested by paper reviewers).
