How do you start work with us?

If it’s your first time performing proteomics, we should sit down and chat about your system and the questions that you want to answer. The diversity of method for proteomics can be overwhelming and we’re happy to help narrow down the best experiment for you. The first step is to submit a  project request. Someone will be in touch to schedule an in-person or telephone conference. Also, you can gather more information by continuing to browse this website.

If you’ve worked with us before and already know what you want, look below and fill out a Sample Submission Form. We have two, one for general samples and one specific to immunoprecipitation samples. Once that’s completed, submit an  NUCore work order (instructions below) and email  proteomics@northwestern.edu to arrange your sample drop off. Note that we are not able to start work until a Northwestern Chartstring or purchase order is provided.
