Universal Proteomics Standard Set

Application

The Universal Proteomics Standard (UPS) Set may be used to standardize and/or evaluate mass spectrometric (e.g., LC-MS/MS, MALDI-TOF-MS, etc.) and electrophoretic analysis conditions prior to the analysis of complex protein samples.
•  It may be used to bracket critical experimental datasets, thereby confirming the robustness of the analysis method.
•  Laboratories generating or comparing data derived from poorly defined samples may use it as an external reference to assist with the evaluation of results.
•  It may facilitate the comparison of mass spectrometric or other proteomic data that is generated in different labs using a variety of analytical strategies and instruments.
•  It may potentially help identify limitations of proteomics analysis systems and search algorithms.

General description

The Universal Proteomics Standard (UPS) Set was developed in collaboration with the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) Proteomics Standards Research Group (sPRG). This protein mixture was extensively evaluated and reported under the direction of the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) Proteomics Standards Research Group (sPRG) during a comprehensive 2005/2006 study. The findings of the study were presented at the ABRF 2006 and US HUPO 2006 conferences.
