- What kind of substances in my sample would interfere with mass spectrometry analysis?
- What is the best way to remove small contaminants from my sample for mass spectrometry analysis?
- Can I use protein desalting columns for cleanup of peptide samples?
- What is the best way to remove detergents from my sample for mass spectrometry analysis?
- What kind of buffers and solutions are compatible with peptide clean-up and LC-MS?
- I cleaned up my peptide sample using C18 or desalting columns, but I lost most of my peptides. What went wrong?
- I still have detergent present in my sample after protein digestion. Is there anything I can do?
- I have a low number of protein identifications from my protein digest sample. What can I do?
- I’m seeing a peak in my mass spectrometry analysis results that seems to always be present in my system. What can I do?
- I’m seeing extra peaks in my mass spectrometry chromatogram that do not appear to come from my protein sample or the system. Where did they come from and what should I do?

Custom Services
Custom Peptide Synthesis Services
Thermo Scientific Custom Peptide synthesis service offers numerous options for synthesis platforms, purity levels, modifications, and formats to meet a variety of research needs. We synthesize peptides of 2–110 amino acids using the latest FMOC solid-phase technology, and purify our products using HPLC. Synthesis scales range from 0.1 mg to 1 g, and purities from crude to >98% based on the service.
HeavyPeptide AQUA Custom Synthesis Service
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 dat. Additionally, we offer a wide range of labels, modifications, scales, and purities.
