Quantitative peptide standards

When accuracy is critical, Waters offers several quantitative peptide standard mixes specifically designed to be run before your analysis to ensure LC or LC-MS system confidence. They can also be spiked into complex samples to help with analytical accuracy. The Quantitative Peptide Retention Standard is useful during calibration, development, and troubleshooting of chromatographic separations, ensuring confidence in results. In addition, the Hi3 line of Peptide Standards provides MS users with a purified sample mix of the 6 top ionizable peptides in Phosphorylase B and E.Coli.


Reversed-phase peptide standards

The ability to qualify and troubleshoot your bioseparation with a standard that is similar to your samples is critical. The Cytochrome C Digestion Standard is part of a line of qualitative digestion standards used for performance evaluation of HPLC and UPLC columns for peptide separation. This standard is used to benchmark the ACQUITY UPLC, XBridge, and XSelect CSH Peptide Columns. In addition, the MassPREP Peptide Mixture is a complex mix of nine carefully selected peptides with a broad range of polarities and isoelectric points used for the evaluation and troubleshooting of HPLC and UPLC columns and systems dedicated for peptide separations.


Phosphopeptide enrichment and standards

Phosphorylation is a prevalent post-translational modification (PTM) for regulating protein function. The MassPREP Phosphopeptide Enrichment Kit provides selective enrichment of phosphopeptides from complex samples through affinity-based SPE. In addition, Waters offers a suite of standards, ranging from simple to complex, that consist of highly purified sample sets of synthetic phosphopeptides used to optimize phosphopeptide detection in LC-MS, LC-UV, and MALDI-MS analyses.


Simple digestion standards

Protein digestions can be very time consuming and irreproducible. Waters offers a variety of protein digests valuable to use as complex biological matrices for proteomic evaluations as well as for performance evaluation of HPLC, UPLC columns and LC-MS instrumentation. They are especially useful in positive ion mode evaluations for sensitivity, resolution, and mass measurement accuracy on nanoACQUITY and QToF based systems.


mAb digestion standards

Peptide level analysis of proteins by LC-MS is one of the primary approaches for the characterization of biopharmaceuticals—in particular, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). In such an analysis, it is possible to acquire peptide mass information and quickly confirm protein sequence, post-translation modifications, and degradation-related critical quality attributes. To support this application area, Waters has commercialized several digestion standards, such as the mAb Tryptic Digest Standard, and the mAb Subunit Standard, which can be used in the benchmarking of LC-MS techniques, proficiency testing among different instruments and laboratories, and system suitability when performing peptide level protein analysis.

Peptide Standards & Kits are high-quality reference materials crucial for accurate peptide analysis in research, diagnostics, and drug development. These kits include peptides with well-characterized sequences, purity, and quantities, serving as essential benchmarks in techniques such as liquid chromatography (LC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). They enable method validation, instrument calibration, and quality control, ensuring reliable, reproducible results, that is particularly vital in regulated environments and applications requiring high precision.

The benefits of these kits are far-reaching. In biomarker discovery, proteomics, and therapeutic peptide development, peptide standards help assess peptide stability, potency, and behavior in various conditions, making them essential for generating standardized, comparable data. Many kits are customizable, allowing labs to select specific peptide sequences, modifications (e.g., isotopic labeling, phosphorylation), or other tailored features, enhancing accuracy for targeted analyses.

In LC applications, peptide standards provide benchmarks for retention times and peak shapes, helping labs verify separation efficiency and optimize their methods. In LC-MS, standards assist with precise mass identification, quantification, and sequence verification, making them invaluable in quantitative proteomics and pharmacokinetic studies. Isotopically labeled peptides, often included in these kits, allow for highly sensitive quantification through techniques like multiple reaction monitoring (MRM), improving the accuracy of complex analyses.

Peptide standards come in various types, each tailored to specific analytical needs: Quantitative standards enable accurate peptide concentration measurements, essential in biomarker and pharmacokinetic studies. Qualitative standards aid in identifying peptides in complex matrices and verifying instrument functionality, while modified peptide standards support the study of biological mechanisms, post-translational modifications, and protein interactions.

Choosing the right peptide standard involves considering the analysis's requirements, such as sequence length, modifications, and the level of accuracy needed. High-purity standards are critical in regulated settings where strict quality control is required. Peptide Standards & Kits provide an essential foundation for generating consistent, high-quality data across a wide range of applications, enhancing research precision and reproducibility. Their adaptability to specific research needs makes them indispensable in fields like proteomics, diagnostics, and therapeutic development, supporting scientific advancements and contributing to robust, reliable research outcomes.
