The facility provides a complete platform for the identification and quantification of proteins using mass spectrometry. We are equipped with state-of-the-art chromatography systems and mass spectrometers that enable multiple MS and LC-MS/MS experiments:

• Orbitrap Fusion Lumos Tribrid mass spectrometer (high resolution ESI mass spectrometer) coupled to nanoAcquity UPLC
• LTQ Orbitrap XL ETD (high resolution ESI mass spectrometer) coupled to 2D nanoHPLC
• LTQ (low resolution ESI mass spectrometer) coupled to GE MDLC
• UltraflexII tof/tof (MALDI mass spectrometer)
• Procise 494 (Edman sequencer)
• 1260 Infinity (HPLC)
• Easy nanoLC coupled to fraction collector/MALDI spotter (nanoscale preparations)
• Sample preparation robot (in-gel digestion of large sample sets)

In addition, the facility provides a wide-range of software and bioinformatics tools for data analysis and interpretation:

• Mascot Server
• Proteome Discoverer
• MaxQuant
• Scaffold
• Multiple in house written procedures based on R\Bioconductor
