In the ever-evolving world of life sciences, precision and accuracy are the cornerstones of discovery. From identifying disease biomarkers to developing targeted therapies, researchers need analytical tools that can dive deep into complex biological systems. Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) stands at the forefront of these innovations—delivering highly sensitive, specific, and quantitative data that drive meaningful insights.
At ITSI-Biosciences, we specialize in Mass Spectrometry Services that empower scientists to explore the molecular intricacies of their samples with unmatched clarity and confidence.
What Is Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)?
Tandem Mass Spectrometry combines liquid chromatography (LC) with mass spectrometry (MS/MS) to separate, identify, and quantify molecules in complex mixtures. The first stage (MS1) measures the mass-to-charge ratios of ions, while the second (MS2) provides detailed fragmentation data—offering a powerful view of molecular structure and abundance.
This dual-stage process makes LC-MS/MS an indispensable tool in modern research, especially for applications in proteomics, metabolomics, and biomarker discovery.
Comprehensive Mass Spec Solutions from ITSI-Biosciences
Our Mass Spectrometry Services are designed to meet the diverse analytical needs of researchers and clinicians. Whether you’re investigating protein function, monitoring metabolic pathways, or searching for diagnostic biomarkers, ITSI-Biosciences delivers the precision and reproducibility your work demands.
Our service offerings include:
-
Protein Identification & Characterization
Using nano-LC/MS/MS and advanced database search algorithms, we accurately identify proteins from complex biological samples—whether purified, gel-separated, or digested. -
Quantitative Proteomics (TMT & iTRAQ)
Compare multiple samples in a single experiment with quantitative labeling technologies such as Tandem Mass Tags (TMT). This approach enables robust relative quantification of protein expression across experimental conditions. -
