About TMPL
The Targeted Metabolomics and Proteomics Laboratory (TMPL) is organized to provide a variety of analytical and technical services using mass spectrometry to UAB investigators. The laboratory has four mass spectrometers, two triple quadrupole instruments (AB Sciex 3200 and 4000), a quadrupole-linear ion trap instrument (AB Sciex 4000Qtrap), and quadrupole-TOF (AB Sciex 5600 TripleTOF). The AB Sciex 5600 TripleTOF is particularly powerful for comprehensive and targeted proteomics, lipidomics and metabolomics. The recent addition of an Eksigent microflow 200 LC provides significant improvement in sensitivity for the triple quadrupole instruments.
Two fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance instruments - supported by NCRR grants - are in the Biomedical FT-ICR Mass Spectrometry Laboratory (http://www.uab.edu/BiomedFTICR/). Contact Dr. Matt Renfrow about use of these instruments (renfrow@uab.edu; 205 996-4681).
A Bruker MALDI TOF-TOF instrument is available in the Comprehensive Cancer Center Core Laboratory of Dr. Jim Mobley (Jim.Mobley@ccc.uab.edu; 205 996-6363).
