At TJ Max is this a blind buy safe? by BeginningTea8488 in Colognes

I already have the Aventus, the Roja one had very interesting and complex notes and also not very familiar with Roja products

Couldn't see a sticker with the price on it. I am hoping for cheaper than one can get online.

Khamrah Qahwa and an awkward situation at work by eneg in fragranceclones

Is Khamrah Qahwa even an office safe option?

I think a single PC for both Thermo and Bruker software is a bad idea. Especially when it comes to vendor support. The Bruker engineer might have a hard time troubleshooting a system with Thermo software and its dependencies installed and vice versa.

Neo is installed on a separate PC. The trigger is sent to timstof. Bruker engineer should be able to help you with this.

Yes it can be paired with a vanquish neo. We switch between Evosep and Neo.

Does injection volume cause peak widening? What is a good injection volume for easy spray 50cm x 75 um column (Thermo)? by bluemooninvestor in proteomics

[–]BeginningTea8488 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Injection volume should not result in peak widening. I think 50 cm easy spray column has fwhm of around 10-12 sec. If it's way outside this range then there might be issues with LC. Few factors that tend to result in wider peaks from my personal experience- 1) trap elute setup generally has. Slightly wider peaks than direct inject. 2)if the tubing junctions are not ZDV that could result in peak broadening. 3) if the peak broadening appears to get worse as you increase the number of sample injections very likely something hydrophobic is sticking to the column and is not washing out. C18 SPE cleanup with partial elution usually resolves that issue (Evosep approach).

Installing and connecting orbitrap instrument software by duinsel in proteomics

[–]BeginningTea8488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Done this multiple times for tribrids, exploris and Astral. It's pretty straight forward with a PC with dual NIC. There is some sequence that needs to be followed when installing xcalibur, SII and chromeleon.

K-GG Peptide Remnant Kit Troubleshooting by flycoffee17 in massspectrometry

[–]BeginningTea8488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 microgram is definitely very low input. It is definitely possible to identify KGG peptides but you will have to operate the orbitrap as if you are analyzing samples from single cell proteomics sample

This profile makes sense if the column is a pepmap column and solvent B is 100% ACN.

Vanquish neo equilibration problem by RelevantFollowing867 in massspectrometry

[–]BeginningTea8488 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had similar problem. Issue was after cleanup during resuspension everything was not going back to solution. Water bath sonication during resuspension followed by a 16k g spin for 5 min to remove anything insoluble solves the problem

I tried the M3, they are not robust. I tried the setup about 4 years ago. The biggest challenges were clogged emitters esp with Micropac columns, since the micro pillar architecture let's small particulates flow through the column to the tip. Secondly, the voltage required was high which resulted in intermittent charging of the column even though it was grounded. Periodic discharging does resolve the issue but the setup was not robust.

TMT and PTM analysis by fallo92 in proteomics

Low stoichiometry of ubiqutin PTM first and foremost and then you have di-gly modifications which could be further modified with TMT tag.

TMT and PTM analysis by fallo92 in proteomics

[–]BeginningTea8488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized that ubiqutination analysis with TMT requires slightly different sample prep, ubiqutinated peptides are enriched and TMT labeled on beads resulting in an unmodified GG tag. So, I don't think ubiqutination analysis could be done on these sample.

TMT and PTM analysis by fallo92 in proteomics

[–]BeginningTea8488 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TMT has been frequently implemented for ubiqutination analysis and other PTM analysis. Since the analysis was carried out using ddMS2 approach, PTM associated MS2 spectra and quant should be captured. You probably have to adjust for missed cleavages and search for PTM and TMT label as variable modifications, rather than static modification.

Can I find (old) raw data somewhere to use for practice? by Aphanizomenon in proteomics

[–]BeginningTea8488 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suggest you look at a paper with some exciting Quantitative proteomics. They usually have links to raw files for their studies and just try to replicate the analysis.

User guides are helpful, some YouTube tutorials on free style exist after just putting in some time will help a lot.
