9) Data report (see an example)

2. Each order should have a minimum of 2 samples. Turnaround time is 5-7 business days for 3 or more samples, and up to 10 business days for 2 samples. Please see procedure of LC-MS/MS for detailed steps of this service.

Sample types:
1) Low complexity samples: 1D gel band - Each sample should contain only one gel piece with one protein band, no bigger than 1x1x5mm in size, <10 proteins. Samples with more than one gel piece, and/or more than one protein band will be considered as moderate to high complex samples. We recommend you cut out only the area with your protein of interest (1x1x2mm size) and follow these guidelines to prepare samples
2) Moderate complexity samples: protein mixture such as column purified sample, <100 proteins 
3) Moderate to High complexity samples: Protein mixtures such as subcellular organelles, IP samples with 100 - 500 proteins
4) High complexity samples: whole cell lysate, tissue, and others with more than 500 protein mix

Price covers the following:
1) Nano-LC coupled with auto-spotting
2) MS/MS
3) Standard database search against one species in NCBI or SwissProt database using MASCOT
4) Data report (see an example)

Price does NOT cover: 1) sample preparation; 2) data request in addition to the standard report.
