Isotope Labeling

Stable isotope-labeled peptides (SIL peptides) is developed for the use in Quantitative Mass Spectrometry and NMR analyses. These are excellent internal standards when quantifying analytes at very low concentrations in complex sample mixtures. Stable isotope-labeled peptides (SIL peptides) are chemically and physically indistinguishable from their endogenous counterparts with respect to retention time, ionization efficiency, and fragmentation pathways. Therefore, either are ideal internal standards and template analytes. HongTide offer customer support regarding the selection of the heavy-labeled amino acids to fit the application and the delta mass expected. Here are stable isotope-labeled amino acids we usually use during the peptide synthesis below:
