Important Information at CFMS
The Core Facility for Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics provides services for research scientists of the FoF1 / Heidelberg and Mannheim Life Sciences campus. Samples are processed on a first come first serve basis. Sample processing includes protein digestion into peptides, sample clean-up, peptide separation and quantification using LC-MS and initial database search. Regular services are processed usually within 4 weeks. Additional services usually take up to 8 weeks. Sample processing includes protein digestion into peptides, sample clean-up, peptide separation and quantification using LC-MS and initial database search.
Ensure you also follow the correct protocols regarding sample preperation and submission as this aids the sample processing. Here you can find the user regulations and protocols; for more in-depth information please refer to our step-by-step guide or contact the CFMS team.
CFMP User Regulations
- Each facility user is obliged to be familiar and sign CFMP user regulations; these also contain information on pricing (Note: the final price has to be discussed with the head of the CFMP)
-
Contributions of the CFMP to the research projects should be appropriately acknowledged as this aids the CFMP’s recognition, thus, easing applications for external funding and the acquisition of new instruments. As scientific contribution can be considered:
- Development of new analytical method
- Help with experimental design
- Generation and/or evaluation of the data
- Manuscript preparation, generation of figures, supplementary data preparation and raw data submission
- Sample processing occurs on a first come first serve basis. Regular services are usually processed within 2-4 weeks; additional services may take up to 8 weeks.

Additional Services
We can also provide additional services, however, this must always be subject to discussion first. Compare beforehand that we have the correct equipment to process your request and contact us for furtehr information.
- Analysis of post- translational modifications (e.g. phosphorylation, succinylation)
- Identification of cross- linked peptides of purified proteins and protein complexes
- Cell- wide or organelle- wide interactome analysis (co- fractionation MS)
- Additional applications upon request
