NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Hayward, CA, United States, 2011/09/29 - Applied Biomics added liquid-based proteomics iTRAQ® service, complimentary to its well established gel-based 2D DIGE services. It can provide protein Quantitation and Identification in a single reaction - AppliedBiomics.com.

Applied Biomics, Inc., a leading Proteomics service provider, is pleased to announce the addition of iTRAQ® service (Isobaric Tags for Relative and Absolute Quantitation) to its proteomics line. This liquid-based proteomics platform is a nice complement to our well-established gel-based 2D DIGE service.

The newly added iTRAQ® service, combined with our proprietary sample preparation protocols, can simultaneously provide protein Quantitation and Identification in a single experiment. iTRAQ® utilizes isobaric tags to label peptides from a tryptic digestion, followed by fractionation using a Nano HPLC column. Each peptide then undergoes MS/MS sequencing to identify the proteins, and the iTRAQ tags release reporter ions to quantify the peptides in each sample.

Our iTRAQ® service benefits researchers in the following areas:

1) Low complexity samples with fewer than 10 proteins;
2) Moderate complexity samples with very low protein amount such as IP or column purified protein complex;
3) High complexity samples containing small peptides such as urine or culture media.

We offer competitive prices and guarantee a one-week turn around time. Please refer to the following link for more information about the iTRAQ® service.
