Sample Submission Guidelines
Samples can be brought to 250 Biomedical Research Tower, along with a copy of your service request form, weekdays between 8 am and 5 pm. We have a refrigerator, freezer and dry box for samples that require special storage. It is preferred if samples are submitted neat or dried down, typically ug amounts is all that is needed.
Biological samples are handled differently and require different conditions. Salts, buffers and surfactants suppress ionization and need to be removed for mass spec analysis. When possible, it is advised to dialyze the sample into nanopure or at least distilled water prior to submission. We also have several de-salting techniques for proteins and oligonucleotides available in our facility. List all salts, buffers and detergents the protein or oligonucleotide is in, or has recently been in. For optimal results, please discuss your project with Dr. Somogyi prior to submission. Certain classes of proteins need to be handled differently than others, the more we know about your system, the better the data. Protein samples for ESI are prepared in 50% acetonitrile 50% water with 0.1% formic acid. Slightly acidic conditions are necessary to facilitate protonation
We CANNOT run samples that are in aromatic solvents like benzene, toluene, or solvents such as DMSO and DMF.
Electrospray and MALDI samples are prepared in Methanol, Acetonitrile, water, THF, chloroform. We will acidify the sample with acetic or formic acid unless you indicate the sample is acid sensitive.
Turn around times vary between 1 day to a week depending on sample load, instrument availability and type of analysis. We will email you when the results are ready.
Important notes about sample submissions
We utilize Facility Online Management (FOM) to manage our services. You will need a FOM account to submit your service request.
MSP user guide
A user guide with display logic is available at https://go.osu.edu/startusingmsp to guide MSP/PSR users through creating a FOM account and the sample submission process.
For External Users
Please submit information using the following link to request an OSU sponsored guest account for access to FOM. Request an OSU Sponsored Guest Account / FOM Profile and Account
Creating requisitions for use in FOM (internal users)
Instructions for creating a requisition for use in FOM and linking it to the FOM account are available at https://go.osu.edu/fomrequisition.
Electronic Service request Forms
When submitting multiple samples, please fill out only one (1) Service Request Form in FOM and attach all sample information in a separate document. Please do not submit multiple forms.
Please only submit service requests when you are ready to submit/send samples.
