UPS1 & UPS2 Proteomic Standards

We now offer both the Universal Proteomics Standard and the Proteomics Dynamic Range Standard as complex, well-defined, well characterized reference standards for mass spectrometry. Both standards contain the same 48 human proteins ranging in molecular mass from 6,000 to 83,000 Daltons. Each constituent protein has been HPLC purified and AAA quantitated prior to formulation.

  • Troubleshoot and optimize your analytical protocol
  • Confirm system suitability before analyzing critical samples
  • Normalize analytical results day-to-day or lab-to-lab
  • Determine your limit of detection

Universal Proteomics Standard, UPS1

Developed in collaboration with the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities Proteomics Standards Research Group (sPRG), the Universal Proteomics Standard (UPS1) contains 48 human proteins (5 pmols of each) ranging in molecular weight from 6,000 to 83,000 daltons.

Proteomics Dynamic Range Standard, UPS2

This standard is an enhancement of our original Universal Proteomics Standard (UPS2). The same complex mixture of 48 human proteins has been formulated into a dynamic range of concentrations, ranging from 500 amoles to 50 pmoles.

The ABRF sPRG 2006 Study

In the Fall and Winter of 2005/2006, the ABRF sPRG (Proteomics Standards Research Group) conducted a study to assess the analytical capabilities of proteomics laboratories. Approximately 125 labs from across the world volunteered to participate. Each lab received a complex mixture of 49 unknown proteins and were asked to identify as many of these proteins as possible using their best analytical strategies. The results, presented in February 2006, were quite impressive and in some cases, surprising. Learn more about the sPRG’s 2006 study.
