Applied Biosystems and its partner MDS Analytical Technologies has announced the availability of a suite of integrated mass spectrometry-based solutions for quantitative proteomics. Designed for Applied Biosystems/MDS Analytical Technologies’ triple quadrupole and hybrid triple quadrupole/ linear ion trap mass spectrometry systems, these solutions include software packages and consumables that permit the more effective quantification of proteins in biomarker research or cell biology.
mTRAQ reagents are chemical labelling kits for use in targeted proteomics experiments using MRM analysis that can be used to create global internal standards to provide an internal reference for every protein, peptide and post-translational modification in a sample. Based on proprietary Applied Biosystems’ technology, mTRAQ reagents are designed to improve analytical reproducibility for quantitative experiments without the need for costly custom-prepared synthetic peptides.
