ABRF 2008 in Review

Delegates from across the nation attended ABRF 2008, held February 9-12 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The theme of the symposium this year was Enabling Technologies in the Life Sciences. The Thermo Scientific program included targeted protein quantitation, PTM analysis, bioinformatics, new electron transfer dissociation (ETD) and tissue imaging techniques.

You're invited to the Thermo Scientific US HUPO Workshop
Attend the complimentary Thermo Scientific lunchtime workshop at the US HUPO Fourth Annual Conference. Join us at 12:15 PM in the Brookside Room, Tuesday, March 18th, in the Marriott Bethesda North Hotel & Conference Center to learn more about the latest research in qualitative and quantitative proteomics.

Lunchtime Workshop
Dr. Ricky D. Edmondson, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy, Profiling Multiple Myeloma: Analysis of Clinical Samples using a Proteomics Discovery Platform

Dr. Susan E. Abbatiello, University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, Clinical Proteomics Facility, Investigation of Tissue Interstitial Fluid from Kidney Cancer using High Resolution Differential Mass Spectrometry and SRM-Based Protein Confirmation

Seating is limited, so arrive early to register onsite and enjoy lunch before the presentations begin! Also join us daily at Booth 18 to take a closer look at ETD technology, H-SRM for targeted protein quantitation, new integrated SILAC solutions for relative quantitation of proteins, and much more.

Targeted Protein Quantitation Application Note
A common endpoint for a biomarker discovery experiment is a list of putative marker proteins. A reasonable next step is to then perform targeted quantitative measurements of these proteins in an expanded patient population to assess their validity as markers. In Application Note 412, a new approach using an H‑SRM assay on a TSQ Quantum Ultra triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for simultaneous qualitative and quantitative targeted protein analysis is evaluated. The primary goal was to develop an assay with the ability to measure low levels of peptides in complex mixtures with high chemical background... Read the application note
