Proteomics laboratory

The Proteomics Laboratory is one of the most complete and up-to-date in Italy.

The services offered by the laboratory mainly involve: systematic and differential analysis of the proteome of biofluids, tissues, cells or cell compartments by electrophoretic, chromatographic, mass spectrometry techniques; search, identification and characterisation of peptide and protein markers, protein purification through chromatographic techniques and validation of the primary structure through mass spectrometry analysis, identification of post-translational modifications, high quality protein extraction from FFPE tissues; peptide design, synthesis and purification.

Technological equipment

The laboratory is equipped with high-throughput systems for IEF and 2D-PAGE, advanced imaging systems for differential proteome analysis, and state-of-the-art mass spectrometers (MALDI-TOF, ESI-Q-TOF, ESI-ION TRAP, LTQ Orbitrap Velos, Q Exactive), as well as an automated microwave peptide synthesiser and other accessory equipment.
