The Core Facilities and Platforms Program presents
Proteomic Primer 3: LC-MS Theory and Database Matching
Speaker: Andrew Macklin, PhD
Andrew is the Manger of the Proteomics Core Facility at OHRI
Location: CCW5225

Interested in adding proteomics to your research projects? Have questions about interpreting your data?

The OHRI Proteomics Core Facility invites researchers and trainees to the upcoming ''''Proteomic Primer'''' series. These sessions will cover important considerations for experiment planning, sample preparation, and data analysis to get the most out of your sample cohort.

Session 3, "LC-MS Theory and Database Matching",  introduces how Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) works and how it is used to identify compounds with the help of a reference database.

LC-MS is a powerful analytical technique that combines the separation capabilities of liquid chromatography with the identification power of mass spectrometry. The LC separates the components of a sample, while the MS analyzes and identifies them. By matching results to a reference database, researchers can determine the identity of compounds within complex mixtures.

Please note that OHRI seminars are open to all members of OHRI and partner institutions. Members of the general public are asked to contact the communications office (jganton@ohri.ca) for more information about the research presented at OHRI seminars.
