The SWATH, mass spec technology, is a data-independent acquisition strategy used to measure hcp levels. Thus, we collect all MS/MS fragmentation data for every peptide in your sample.
This is only possible due to the high speed of modern mass spectrometers.
The Sciex 6600 TripleTof instrument makes it possible to divide the whole mass range into sequential windows of size from 5 to 50 daltons. We set up the individual windows based on the analysis of your samples and typically get 50-100 windows. We can thus perform MS/MS fragmentation covering the entire mass range (m/z 350-1700) within a few seconds.
This way, we obtain MS/MS data for all peptides without the instrument having to select specific peptides for MS/MS fragmentation.
The MS/MS data set links to the retention time and contains MS/MS data from multiple peptides. These MS/MS data are extracted using a library’s spectra linking to peptide sequences.
The spectra library can be prepared in many ways. The simplest way is to run a few samples in data-dependent acquisition mode to collect good MS/MS data. Or it can be more advanced based on off-line fragmentation followed by MS/MS analysis of each fraction. The library can be extended with new MS/MS data at any given time and used to research old SWATH data.
Analysis of HCP levels using SWATH technology requires sample material in sufficient amounts to obtain good data. Preparing samples in a clean laboratory is essential to avoid contamination with human keratin.
Submit samples in liquid or lyophilized.
