LC-MS Analysis

LC-MS Analysis

With our analytics we support international researchers working in the field of epitranscriptomics and epigenetics.
Together with our partners we can offer modern, quantitative and qualitative analysis of various RNA and DNA nucleosides.

RNA Therapeutics and Shelf Life

Tamaserv now offers quantitative analytics for RNA oxidation products, such as 8-Oxo-riboguanosin (8-oxo-G / 8-oxo-rG). Oxidative degradation is increasingly being recognized as a problem in long term storage of RNA, with importance e.g. for therapeutic and RNA vaccine applications.

Qualitative LC-MS Analysis

Would you like to know which RNA modifications are in your sample? Our standardized run contains the 20 most common modifications such as m6a, m5c or m1a. The state-of-the-art LC-MS systems are used for analysis.
Other modifications can also be analyzed according to your requirements. We will be happy to discuss your exact requirements and make you an individual offer.

Quantitative LC-MS Analysis

Send us your total RNA, mRNA, rRNA, tRNA or isolated RNA species. We can currently quantify 24 modifications in absolute terms and 26 more in relative terms. Our mass spectrometry works in the femto- to attomol range as standard.
Among other things, we proficiently analyze m6a, m5c, m1a. Which modification can we analyze for you?
By the way, we also analyze DNA nucleosides.

Delivery and Requirements

For the analyses we need purified RNA or DNA in good quality. No salts may be added. We recommend volatile salts (e.g. ammonium acetate) for purification. If the incoming inspection shows that the sample does not meet the requirements, we will contact you for further proceedings.
We are typically producing technical triplicates and would like to ask you to provide sufficient material for this purpose.

The delivery should be made on dry ice and we advise to avoid storage of the samples in the shipping company over the weekend. Customs conditions must be observed before shipment.
