De Novo Peptide Sequencing

Mass spectrometry can be used to obtain the sequence of a peptide of interest. This service applies to the confirmation of known peptide sequences or the discovery of novel, unknown sequences.

De Novo Peptide Sequencing Procedure

Purified Peptide or Peptide Mixture

De Novo Peptide Sequencing Procedure: step 2: MS showing the targeted mass peak of an un-known peptide

Select Mass Peaks of Unknown Peptides

MS/MS

Find Sequences Using De Novo Software

Sample Info

Sample requirement: 2-10 µg of purified peptide powder.

Biohazardous Materials: We do NOT accept samples containing any biohazardous materials. If your samples contain any biohazardous materials, please make sure to deactivate them completely using the appropriate procedure and declare them in the order form. In addition, we do NOT accept any samples containing Level 4 biohazardous materials even if they are deactivated. Please refer to this page for the rank of biohazardous materials.
