These fees apply to researchers based at Penn State. Reduced fees are available, depending on number of samples.
Sample preparation
| 2D-gel electrophoresis, first gel | $196.82 |
| Additional gel | $70.29 |
| Sypro Ruby Stain (100mL) | $23.10 |
| Sypro Ruby Staining (0.5 hr) | $16.48 |
| Gel imaging using laser scanner | $10.87 per wavelength |
| Gel imaging using GS-800 densitometer | $6.59 |
| Gel spot cutter - user operation | $24.62 per hour |
| Tryptic in-gel digestion | $57.53/ first sample, $11.51/ additional sample |
| Tryptic in-liquid digestion | $41.84/ first sample, $10.46/ additional sample |
| ZipTip desalting | $10.94 |
| Plate reader (per run) | $2.50 |
Mass spectrometry
| Nominal mass measurement | $19.66 |
| Accurate mass measurement | $39.31 |
| LC-MS analysis See note 1 | $38.05 |
| Open access LC-MS analysis | $10.22 |
| GC-MS analysis See note 1 | $39.08 |
| MALDI-Tof analysis | $19.55 |
Note 1: These rates are with the use of a generic LC or GC method, or a method provided by the user. Specific method development will incur additional charges.
Proteomics
| CapLC-Q-Tof with automated data processing and analysis for proteins obtained from 2D gel spots (1hour of run time) See note 2 | $74.51 |
| CapLC-Q-Tof with automated data processing and analysis for proteins obtained from 1D gel bands (1.5 hours of run time) See note 2 | $103.52 |
| Peptide mass fingerprinting by MALDI-Tof | $29.43 |
Note 2: These rates are for protein digest that are in a completely automated fashion. For custom data analysis, the rates will be determined by actual instrument and operator time spent.
