About

The Western MALDI MS Facility was established in 2007 to complement other core facilities within the London Regional Proteomics Centre, including the Biological Mass Spectrometry Facility (BMSL) and the Functional Proteomics Facility.

MALDI mass spectrometers are particularly suited for high sample-throughput protein identification of pre-separated or purified samples, such as those obtained from 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis.

The sample preparation for high throughput MALDI MS analyses is supported by the robotic instrumentation in the Functional Proteomics Facility. The two facilities operate closely to ensure complete sample compatibility.

Funding

Initial instrument acquisition funded by CFI and Western (Academic Development Fund).

Maintenance is supported by the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry.
