Grand Oaks Ballroom,Rooms P&Q, Level 2Exhibit Booth: 505Controlling Experimental VariablesSpeaker: Jim Walters, Ph.D., Principal Investigator, AnalyticalResearch Department, Sigma Life ScienceThe enormous amount of data generated from complex proteomicanalyses with mass spectrometry is often overwhelming;requiring iterative analysis and optimization of a number of variables.To counteract the effects of potentially false data, a numberof defined protein and peptide standards have been developedto allow for universal performance comparisons acrossplatforms and between labs. We will highlight our efforts in thedevelopment, commercialization, and utilization of proteomicsstandards. We will discuss our newly developed standards whichinclude both phosphopeptide standards as well as a syntheticprotein designed to fully assess standard LC-MS platforms.Begonia Room, Level 3Exhibit Booth: 108Recent Developments in WatersProteomics TechnologySpeaker: Martha Stapels, Principle Research Scientist,WatersWe will be discussing advances in ETD, Ion Mobility andseparations.
