Quantitation always requires a consultation to help design the experiment. Depending on the problem, we can use a variety of methods to perform the analysis.

Metabolic Label: SILAC (Stable Isotope Labelling of Amino Acids in Cell Culture)

Best for cell lines, few states to compare

Isobaric Label: iTraq/TMT

Best for many states. Fewer runs, expensive reagents.

Label-Free Peptide Quantitation

More runs required, no reagent needed.
