Gentle sample preparation

LC-UV-MS/MS DDA Analysis

Peptide map data analysis

 

Molecular Assessment

We can help you characterize amino acid sequence liability. We provide a Molecular Assessment service to monitor specific amino acid modifications in response to a forced degradation treatment customized to meet your project needs. Our service is optimized for high dynamic range peptide sequence coverage.
