TMT labeling mass spectrometry is an advanced, high-throughput protein quantification technique, widely used in proteomics, particularly for accurately analyzing differential protein expression in complex samples. This method uses stable isotope labeling to simultaneously quantify multiple samples, enabling the parallel analysis of up to 18 samples. This capability significantly enhances experimental throughput and analysis efficiency. TMT labeling mass spectrometry is suitable for a wide range of biological samples, including cells, tissues, and body fluids, and has broad applications in biomarker discovery, disease mechanism studies, and drug development.
MtoZ Biolabs offers high-quality TMT labeling mass spectrometry service, leveraging the Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Fusion Lumos mass spectrometer and Nano-LC system. These cutting-edge technologies ensure accurate and reliable quantitative results, driving innovation and breakthroughs in various research fields.
Technical Principles
TMT labeling mass spectrometry utilizes stable isotope labeling reagents to chemically tag peptides, ensuring that peptides from different samples have the same mass-to-charge ratio in the first stage of mass spectrometry (MS1). In the second stage (MS2), the samples are distinguished by characteristic reporter ions, enabling precise quantification. The method supports a variety of multiplexing options, including 2-plex, 6-plex, 10-plex, 16-plex, and 18-plex, making it highly adaptable to different research needs requiring high-throughput analysis.

FAQ
Q1: How can TMT labeling efficiency be optimized to reduce cross-labeling and signal interference?
Achieving optimal TMT labeling efficiency is crucial for experimental success. MtoZ Biolabs' TMT labeling mass spectrometry service ensures this by strictly controlling labeling reaction parameters, including pH, temperature, and reaction time. High-purity TMT reagents are employed to maximize labeling completeness. To further minimize cross-labeling and signal interference, excess labeling reagents are used, followed by thorough purification to remove unreacted materials. Labeling efficiency is rigorously assessed post-reaction to confirm complete labeling of peptides. With these refined protocols, MtoZ Biolabs delivers precise, high-quality TMT labeling services, ensuring reliable quantitative data and robust experimental outcomes.
