Our mission at the Mass Spectrometry Laboratory at Bloodworks Northwest is to aid researchers in their studies using mass spectrometry, proteomics, and metabolomics. With our state-of-the-art facility we provide sample analysis, training and consultation to investigators within the Blood Center as well as external collaborators. Our services include:

Characterization and relative quantitation of post-translational modifications and mutations in proteins
Quantitative measurement of mutations, oxidation, and cleavage of VWF in plasma
Fibrinogen oxidation and degradation
Protein profiling
Quantitative analysis of metabolites
Analysis of fatty acids and lysophospholipids
Quantification of polyunsaturated fatty acids and their oxidation products
Analysis of small molecular thiols and disulfides
Untargeted metabolomics analysis of biofluids
