Targeted proteomics is a quantitative method that can achieve a superior sensitivity and accuracy with no missed values. It applies to a limited number of quantified peptides of interest, usually 100-200 peptides per analysis. Relative (fold change) and absolute (concentration) quantification can be performed by using synthetic isotope labeled peptides as internal standards.
We exclusively use Parrallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM) acquistion mode for unmatched selectivity and sensitivity.
