Sample Submission

ProCore offers its proteomics services primarily to Amsterdam UMC researchers. We also support external academic scientists and industrial parties as capacity allows.

After you discussed the experiment, to submit samples, fill out a sample submission form and send to Jaco Knol (link). This PROteomics Eperiment File (PROEF doc) should accompany all submitted samples. Each PROEF doc includes a short description of the experiment (aim, background), type of analysis (proteome, phosphoproteome, affinity isolation, etc), sample type (cell line, tissue, biofluid, etc), protein amount, optional gel image, in case of in-gel digest with an annotated gel slicing scheme, other relevant information (e.g., the biological species from which the samples were derived, and short and unique sample names that match labeling on the submitted tubes. Send the PROEF doc to Dr. Jaco Knol, who will check the file for completeness and then insert it in our mass spec queue system.

Terms
