MS

What is Mass Spectrometry?

Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on their mass-to-charge ratio. It is used to measure the mass of proteins, peptides, and other molecules. MS is also used to determine the structure of molecules, to detect and quantify post-translational modifications, and to measure the abundance of proteins in a sample.

How Does Mass Spectrometry Work?

In MS, molecules are ionized and then separated by their mass-to-charge ratio. The ions are then detected by a detector, such as a photomultiplier tube or an array detector. The signal from the detector is used to generate a spectrum, which can be used to identify the molecules present in the sample.

How to choose Antibodies for Mass Spectrometry?

When choosing antibodies for MS, it is important to consider the affinity of the antibody for the target protein. High-affinity antibodies are preferred for MS because they will bind more strongly to the target protein and will be more likely to be detected by the MS system. ProteoGenix offers a range of antibodies with high affinity for a variety of proteins, making them ideal for MS.
