The Biopolymers & Proteomics Core Facility provides MIT researchers with integrated synthetic and analytical capabilities for biological materials, including proteins and peptides, as well as nanoparticles. The Core encompasses a wide range of sophisticated technical expertise and state-of-the-art instrumentation.
Services include:
- mass spectrometry-based proteomics approaches for identification, characterization, or quantitation of proteins from simple to complex mixtures
- MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry
- large scale and small scale peptide synthesis and purification, including peptide arrays
- high-pressure liquid chromatographic analysis and purification
******Small scale peptide synthesis will be run on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. Orders need to be entered into iLab and approved by 10am on the Tuesday before the run to be included. Unusual amino acids may take longer if they need to be ordered. We may add additional runs if demand is high.******

Access is available to all members of the MIT community, to the extent permitted by available capacity. Priority access is given to KI members, NCI-funded research projects and other contributing user groups in recognition of funding support. In special circumstances, access may be available to non-MIT users (details available on request, see Contact page).
The Biopolymers & Proteomics Core is supported in part by funding provided to the Koch Institute from a National Cancer Institute Cancer Center Support Grant.
