Methods
PROBE is equipped for a wide range of proteomics analysis, from the identification of proteins present in a sample to comparison of protein expression profiles between different samples.
Expertise in experimental design, sample preparation, sample analysis, bioinformatics and data interpretation is available.
PROBE offers a wide range of global shotgun quantitative proteomics methods including SILAC, iTRAQ, di-methylation and various label free approaches. Targeted quantification via Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM) is also provided.

-
Protein Identification
The amino acid sequence of proteins in biological samples can be determined by the use of mass spectrometry.
-
Quantitative Proteome Profiling
Disease states can influence the protein expression. By quantitative proteomics methods we can identify and quantify these changes. A typical example is the comparison of proteins in plasma between a control group and a patient group to find specific disease marker candidates.
-
Targeted Protein Quantification
Protein quantification of a small set of proteins in a larger number of samples using Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM). For example the verification of the expression differences between sample groups for disease marker candidates in a large sample set.
