Service - Quality Control of Proteins

Proteome Factory offers the following standard analytical service portfolio for quality control of peptides, recombinant proteins, protein drugs and monoclonal antibodies.
Please contact us, if you need specific other protein analytical methods, advanced protein analysis, the development of new methods and techniques to fulfil your requirements.

Method Aim of analysis 
ESI-MS  Determination of molecular weight  
MALDI-MS  Determination of molecular weight; we recommend ESI-MS due to its superior resolution
MS analysis of monoclonal antibody  Determination of molecular weight of the light and heavy chain 
ESI-FTICR-MS   High resolution determination of molecular weight (accuracy in low ppm range) 
HPLC-ESI-MS Determination of protein mass of proteins containing salt or formulation buffer
SDS-PAGE  Determination of protein mass by using MW standard proteins in SDS-PAGE  
Edman Sequencing Confirmation of N-terminal protein sequence
Peptide Mapping  

Determination of molecular weight of proteins

 

Mass determination of a pure protein by ESI-MS
