The facility offers consulting and services in fields of study that require proteomics or metabolomics techniques based on mass spectrometry. We configure the analysis of metabolites using differential or directed profiles (specific molecules) in any type of biological fluid or tissue including respiratory exhalation. We will perfect any new test in these two fields required by our customers. The activity of Proteomics and Metabolomics Core Facility is based on collaborations with researchers to refine the necessary technique, analyze samples and prepare the results. We focus on the biomedical field; identification and validation of biomarkers, disease mechanisms through protein expression profiles, post-translation modifications, and protein-protein interactions.

Equipment

Spectrometers
  • Q-TOF Micro ESI-QqTOF MS and Nano HPLC Hybrid Mass Spectrometer (Agilent 1200 ™ Series)

QqT hybrid spectrometer coupled to a liquid nanochromatograph for the identification of peptides and proteins. You can also perform metabolite analysis in linear mode. Nominal resolution of 20,000. It is used in tandem mode to identify peptides in single mode for quantification for profile analysis.

  • ESI-QQQ MS Triple Mass Spectrometer (Agilent ™ 6410 BA) and Quaternary uPLC (Agilent ™ 1260 Infinity)

     

UPLC-coupled spectrometer for the quantification of metabolites in MRM mode (multi-reaction monitoring). It also works in four other modes of operation, SIM (single ion monitoring), ion precursors, ion fragments, neutral losses.

  • Gas chromatograph coupled to the mass spectrometer

GC / EI + Ci + Ci – / MS (GC series ™ with MD800 ™ and AS2000 ™ Thermo Instruments).

Thermal desorbing agent for birds (MW-1A ™ Rektorik)

FID gas chromatograph (flame ionization)

  • MALDI TOF / TOF Autoflex Speed ​​TOF / TOF – MALDI mass spectrometer with nominal resolution for 20,000 parapeptides
Analytical and preparative liquid chromatographs
  • HPLC quaternary pump with UV / screw detector and column heater (Waters Series ™ 600)
  • FPLC Äkta Purifier ™ (GE Healthcare)
  • HPLC alliance ™ 2695 (Waters) with 2996 UV / vis detectors and refractive index deviation 2414FPLC
  • HPLC alliance ™ 2695 (Waters) with 2996 UV / vis and 2475 fluorescence detectors
