Methods matched to the analytical question.
Every method is selected for the submitted material and the question being investigated. Scope is agreed before testing, and results are reported against that scope.
Peptide Analysis
Identity, purity & quantity
Targeted peptide analysis using chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques selected according to the submitted material and requested scope.
Peptides are analysed by reversed-phase chromatography with UV detection and confirmed by mass spectrometry. The method is selected for the submitted material and the analytical question being investigated.
Typical outputs
- Peptide identity confirmation
- Chromatographic purity assessment
- Quantity analysis where requested
- Defined compound panels
Applications
- Supplier verification
- Batch review
- Research characterisation
- Formulation checks
Targeted Analysis
LC–MS/MS
Selective analysis of defined target compounds using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry.
Liquid chromatography is coupled with tandem mass spectrometry for selective detection and quantification of defined analytes, with method development carried out where an established method is not available.
Typical outputs
- Small molecule quantification
