Training:
Peptide and Protein Characterization
with Mass Spectrometry
What
does it cover?
Protein analyses employing LC/electrospray/MS and MALDI techniques are
revolutionizing the world of biotechnology and are quickly becoming
important in any field where peptide or protein characterization is
used. This two-day course provides both the analytical chemist and the
biochemist with the fundamentals of how a protein can be characterized
with MS to provide molecular weight, sequence, and identity
information. We introduce more advanced concepts as well, such as
post-translational modification analysis and charge derivitization.
The two-instructor format maintains the pace and energy level of the
class and provides two complimentary viewpoints on the problems
encountered in the lab. Techniques for optimizing protein LC/MS methods
and selecting MALDI matrices also make this a practical class for the
scientist who wants to begin using these techniques right away.
What course formats are available?
This course is offered in three formats:
- As a two-day classroom course presented in various locations in the United States.
- As a live-on-the-web module available from anywhere in the world.
- As a customized in-house course presented exclusively for your organization at your site.
What does it cost?
The price for the three-day classroom course is $1297 per attendee. Additional registrants from the same company and location may attend for half-price. Contact us for further information on this offer.
The one-week live-on-the-web module covers only applications and techniques for Peptide & Protein Characterization with LC/MS. It is presented in two two-hour sessions in a single week and priced at $450 per attendee. Please note that this module assumes the attendee is very familiar with mass spectrometry and LC/MS systems. For the scientist who is not familiar with these concepts but still wishes to take an on-line course we offer a package which includes two modules from our LC/MS Fundamentals and Applications course plus the protein characterization module for a total price of $1297.
The two additional modules are:
- Introduction to Mass Spectrometry and Mass Spectrometers:
One week, two 2-hour sessions
- Introduction to LC/MS Interfaces and Their Operational Characteristics:
One week, two 2-hour presentations
The customized in-house course is priced according to the number of days, number of attendees, travel costs, and degree of customization. Contact us for further discussion of in-house courses.

LC/MS module schedule
For the student who has no mass spectrometry experience, we recommend
completing the self-paced computer training program "Introduction to Peptide and Protein Analysis
with Mass Spectrometry."
Instructors: Fred Klink and Jack Throck Watson
This
course is offered several times throughout the year in various
locations. It can also be presented in-house and customized to meet
your precise needs.
