Proteomic Sample Drop Off Procedure
Effective October 1st, 2020
Samples that are stable at room temp (ex: gel bands) should be placed in the A916 (A-stem) Scaife Hall location by 11:00 am. For all other samples, please contact BioMS Center.
A new schedule will be used for the in-gel protein identification service. Samples received by the 1st and 15th of the month will be analyzed and results returned within 10 days. This change is being made to allow for the installation of a new state-of-the-art mass spectrometer for advanced proteomics.
Please place your proteomic samples inside a plastic bag/envelope along with your submission form. A submission form must be placed in the bag or envelope. Samples must be clearly labeled and match what is on the submission form.
Label BioMS on the outside of the bag/envelope. Gel band samples should be stored in a microcentrifuge tube with 50ul of water. Place the bag/envelope inside the plastic container located in refrigerator marked GRC, in the Scaife hallway.
Directions to A916: Take the Scaife hall elevators to the 9th floor. Turn right off of elevators and go through the double doors into the A-stem.
From Presby: Take the Presby Main Elevators up to ninth floor. Go toward Scaife hall through 2 sets of double doors into the A-stem.
About Us
Welcome to Biomedical Mass Spectrometry Center
The Biomedical Mass Spectrometry Center in the Schools of Health Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh is a campus-wide shared facility dedicated to advancing the use and application of mass spectrometry in basic and/or translational research at all levels, from first-time users to experts in the field. The center is supported by the University of Pittsburgh Schools of Health Science and the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute.
