Charges: 
$160 for first 8 cycles; $25 for each additional cycle when rotor speed is above 3000 rpm

The ABI Procise protein sequencer sequentially cleaves amino acids from the N-terminus of a protein or peptide.  The system then separates and identifies the cleaved amino acids and analyzes the data. 

The ABI Procise sequencer that has been in use for the past 6 years is being phased out. The Core Facility is moving towards "Protein ID" and sequencing using the ABI 4800 Plus MALDI-TOF/TOF Analyzer along with database analysis (which is significantly more cost-effective). If you need more information, please contact Hyuk-Kyu Seoh or John Houghton to discuss our current protein sequencing capabilities.

Sample Prep:
Run an SDS PAGE gel with 1ug protein per lane (purity 90% or above).
Blot bands onto PVDF membrane with Caps buffer (CAPS SigmaUltra C6070-100G).
For the best results, provide 2 to 4 samples/lane from the same protein band that you are interested in.
