The protein facility established at Innsbruck Medical University is dedicated to provide investigators with equipment, expertise and custom services for the detection, characterization and quantification of proteins and peptides on a recharge basis. The facility maintains a suite of state of the art instrumentation including a MALDI TOF/TOF 4800 plus Analyzer (Applied Biosystems), a Hybrid FT-Mass Spectrometer LTQ Orbitrap XL (ThermoScientific), an LTQ VELOS (ThermoScientific), a Procise 492 Protein Sequencer (Applied Biosystems), Nano-LC Gradient Systems UltiMate 3000 (Dionex), a Probot Microfraction Collector (LC-Packings) for on-line MALDI target preparations. Various Capillary Electrophoresis and HPLC Systems and, in addition, a Solaar M6 Dual Zeeman Spectrometer (ThermoScientific) for trace element analysis are operated in the facility.
