HeavyPeptide AQUA Custom Synthesis Service
日本での取り扱いは現在未定となっております。
Thermo Scientific HeavyPeptide AQUA Custom Synthesis Service provides isotopically labeled, AQUA-grade peptides for the relative and absolute quantitation of proteins at very low concentrations in complex protein mixtures. Peptides are synthesized using the latest Fmoc solid-phase technology and purified by HPLC. All HeavyPeptide sequences come with mass spectrometric analysis and analytical HPLC data. Additionally, we offer a wide range of labels, modifications and, scales.

Frequently asked questions
Q. What is the shelf life of a HeavyPeptide AQUA?
A. The shelf life is >12 months at –20°C. For long term storage we recommend –80°C. A HeavyPeptide AQUA cannot be frozen again after first utilization without risking a dramatic change in the standard concentration. Usually an aliquot of HeavyPeptide AQUA standard can be kept a few days at 4°C without significant changes. The stability and accuracy of a HeavyPeptide AQUA may vary with the sequence.
Q. Do HeavyPeptides AQUA in solution degrade faster vs. lyophilized ones?
Lyophilized peptide are less prone to degradation, oxidation, reduction, and other chemical modifications. However, it is usually not possible to reconstitute lyophilized peptides in a quantitative way as they tend to form colloids during the lyophilization process. This can result in unknown concentration of solubilized peptide, but one that can be measured using MS. In about 5% of the sequences, less than 10% of the peptide is fully solubilized. This problem cannot be detected by the operator. For products provided fully solubilized (QuantPro & Ultimate): if a chemical modification happens, it can be detected and the product discarded.
Q. How do you ship HeavyPeptides AQUA?
The Basic grade is shipped lyophilized protected with argon in a moisture proof sealed bag. Each bag includes molecular sieve to maintain the relative humidity close to ~0%. The Basic grade is shipped at room temperature. The QuantPro and Ultimate grades are provided in solution and shipped on wet ice.
