The core values of ASCMSF are the 2 hybrid LTQ-Orbitrap and 2 Tribrid Orbitrap Fusion MS systems, serving different needs of simple protein identification, de novo peptide sequencing, post-translational modifications (PTM) analysis, and full scale quantitative shotgun proteomics applications. Data acquisition would normally be preceded by requisite steps of front end sample preparation, with ancillary steps of mass tag labeling, target enrichments and fractionation to reduce complexity, followed by post-acquisition data processing and analysis, output in suitably accessible report, with and without further bioinformatics data mining.
