TMT Proteomics Service
- Low-complexity samples: Gel spots or bands, approximately 1-2 cm in length.
- Medium-complexity samples: Protein mixtures, including column-purified samples.
- Moderate-to-high complexity samples: Protein mixtures such as IP-derived samples, secreted proteomes, or subcellular organelles (e.g., mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes).
- High-complexity samples: Whole cell lysates, tissues.
TMT proteomics is an efficient, high-throughput quantitative method that employs chemical tags to label peptides, enabling the simultaneous quantification of up to 18 samples. This capability significantly enhances experimental efficiency and ensures data consistency across samples, establishing TMT proteomics as one of the most widely adopted core technologies in proteomics research.
By integrating high-resolution mass spectrometers(e.g., Orbitrap series) with advanced data analysis platforms, MtoZ Biolabs’ TMT proteomics services offer precise quantification of protein expression levels across multiple samples. This service is extensively applied in research areas such as disease mechanisms, drug development, and biomarker discovery. With state-of-the-art platforms and rigorously standardized processes, we deliver high-quality, reproducible data to support researchers in efficiently achieving their scientific objectives.

Case Study
A study employing TMT proteomics demonstrated that low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) alleviates hypoxia-induced damage in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ OA). The analysis revealed that LIPUS inhibits extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, reduces angiogenesis, and enhances cell migration. Key proteins, including TIMP1 and VEGF, were identified as playing critical roles, providing potential molecular mechanisms and biomarkers for the treatment of TMJ OA with LIPUS.
