Selected or multiple reaction monitoring (SRM/MRM) are methods of absolute quantitation (also termed AQUA) in targeted proteomics, whereby a complex sample is spiked with a stable isotope-labeled peptide that acts as internal standard. Heavy peptides for each target must be synthesized and evaluated for suitability. Low-cost crude peptides are generally adequate for targeted assay development. Peptide libraries and quality standards thus identified can then be synthesized at AQUA purity for SRM assays.

Targeted peptide features:

  • Versatility—different peptide grades and turnaround times
  • Accuracy—HeavyPeptide™ AQUA Custom peptides provide concentration precision for quantitation of proteins at very low concentrations.
  • Quality—stable isotope standards (SIS) have >99% isotopic purity
  • Flexibility—multiple formats are available in both heavy or standard amino acid options
  • Compatibility—optimized for use with Thermo Scientific LC-MS platforms with data analysis fully supported by Pinpoint 1.4
