Applied Biosystems and MDS Analytical Technologies announce the availability of a suite of integrated mass spectrometry-based solutions for conducting targeted quantitative proteomics studies
Designed for Applied Biosystems/MDS Analytical Technologies's triple quadrupole and hybrid triple quadrupole/linear ion trap mass spectrometry systems, these include software packages and consumables that enable scientists to quantify proteins more effectively in biomarker research or cell biology.
These new tools address the needs of scientists in industry and academia who are seeking to quantify many specific proteins and peptides in complex biological samples.
Thousands of proteins may be present in any specific laboratory sample; however, scientists are often most eager to study the subset of those that are typically lower in abundance and are changing in response to a disease.
Targeted mass spectrometry is emerging as a powerful tool for these quantitative assays, yet key challenges remain.
The need for higher order multiplexing, improved reproducibility and more rapid assay development for these protein panels is critical for scientists to continue to drive forward their biomarker initiatives in a streamlined, efficient manner.
Applied Biosystems/MDS Analytical Technologies's targeted quantitative proteomics solutions are uniquely positioned to address these challenges because they are designed to deliver consistency along with simplified, one-touch accessibility to world-class technology across the entire workflow.
