Keck Mass Spectrometry & Proteomics Resource
We provide efficient and cost-effective proteomics and state-of-the-art small-molecule mass spectrometry-based services.
About the core
The Keck Mass Spectrometry (MS) & Proteomics Resource at the Yale School of Medicine provides efficient and cost-effective proteomics and small-molecule mass spectrometry-based services. Besides our many standard operating procedures, we also bring state-of-the-art mass spectrometry-based biotechnologies in response to the input and requests of our users. These technologies are developed and implemented with a broad spectrum of mass spectrometry-based techniques and protein/peptide/small-molecule chemistries to separate, characterize, profile, and quantify analytes from and array of complex biological samples.
