New developments at the Aberdeen Proteome Facility will be reported here.
March 2005
Updated information for Internal Orders for Aberdeen University based researchers - see link.
February 2004
New link to show the APF laboratories.
We can now offer visits to the APF laboratories to provide training in the techniques provided by our laboratory.
Bryan Dunbar has now retired from Aberdeen University after many years of service and we wish him well for the future. Persons wishing to have samples processed for Edman sequencing should check the Contacts page of this site.
June 2003
Aberdeen Proteome Facility logos available for use in Posters and seminar presentations, images available here.
New URL now available for the Aberdeen laboratories that form part of COGEME - go to www.abdn.ac.uk/cogeme. COGEME COGEME provides support for the UK research community in microbial eukaryotes for the study of gene function through proteome and transcriptome analysis. The laboratories at Aberdeen are providing expertise on proteomics using high resolution 2D Electrophoresis and peptide mass mapping. Main COGEME web site remains the same.
May 2003
Amendment to payment conditions for researchers based in Aberdeen University added here.
March 2003
Updates for conditions of payment for UK-based researchers of the Aberdeen Proteome Facility
October 2002
Addition of a series of sample preparation protocols as pdf files.
September 2002
Please note new telephone numbers for Proteome Facility Contacts. Aberdeen University users should note updates to the internal ordering procedure for Proteome Services.
September 2001
Aberdeen University users (other than users in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology) should be aware of a NEW PROCEDURE for the internal ordering of Proteomic services, details of which can be found here.
June 2001
The robotics system used by the Proteome Facility has been upgraded to using the Investigator(TM) ProPic and HT Analyzer software from Genomic Solutions. This system will provide us with the capability of cutting directly from fluorescent stained gels combined with the easy integration of the data with the Phoretix 2D software from Nonlinear Dynamics.
January 2001
Two-day workshop organised for researchers interested in the development of proteomics in the areas of automation and the biosciences.
October 2000
The Aberdeen Proteome Facility is currently contributing towards the "Consortium for the Functional Genomics of Microbial Eukaryotes" (COGEME) funded as part of the BBSRC Initiative on Gene Function. COGEME provides support for the UK research community in microbial eukaryotes for the study of gene function through proteome and transcriptome analysis. The laboratories at Aberdeen are providing expertise on proteomics using high resolution 2D Electrophoresis and peptide mass mapping.
Further information can be obtained from the main COGEME Web page as well as through the Home Page of Prof. Al Brown the Aberdeen coordinator of COGEME.
August 2000
The Aberdeen Proteome Facility was recently awarded a grant as part of the UK Joint Equipment Research Initiative for the installation of new robotics systems for the extraction and processing of spots from electrophoresis gels for peptide mass mapping. The robots were obtained from Genomic Solutions and further details will appear shortly on the use of these robotics in proteomics.
