Summary of service
This laboratory gives the scientific community an opportunity to at a low cost make use of recent developments in techniques and instrumentations for the analysis and identification of proteins. Our area of work is analysis and comparison of proteomes, identification of proteins in protein spots/bands by mass spectrometry, analysis of expressed proteins for quality control and analysis of proteins for post-translational modifications. The facility is open for all scales of problem solving or analysis, although the capacity for 2D gels might be a limiting factor for very large undertakings.

Technologies/Methods
The facility is equipped with 2-D electrophoresis systems, systems for post or pre-gel labeling of proteins including DIGE, visible and UV light scanners, software for image analysis, spot picking system, semi automated spot processing, MALDI-TOF and MS/MS instrumentation. The facility has expertise for 2-D gel analysis, mass spectrometry, data base searches and general protein chemistry.
