Analytical Capabilities

CESB is equipped for analysis of polar and non-polar metabolites including macromolecules (proteins, complex lipids, complex carbohydrates and nucleic acids) in terms of quantification and stable isotope incorporation via metabolic activity.

The major analytical capabilities are ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry with direct infusion or ion chromatography, ICP MS (for elemental analysis), high resolution NMR and MRI, and reverse phase protein array analysis (RPPA) for proteins, which have links below.

More specialized capabilities are available for analyzing metabolic incorporation of stable isotopes into glycogen and nucleic acids via NMR and MS, that are described under services/sample handling.
