50nm and 200nm. Turnaround time is often within 24 hours. Oligos are shipped out dried down and quantitated and include a synthesis report. Cartridge purification is available but for most applications it is not necessary. The Peptide Synthesis Facility currently has three ABI 431 Peptide Synthesizers employing FastMoc Chemistry.
Turnaround time is usually between two to three weeks.
All peptides are returned with a Mass Spec analysis and an analytical HPLC chromatogram with the exception of peptide libraries. The Director of the TCVR, Dr. Elizabeth Fini, is a faculty member of the CMDB graduate program. This institutional facility is directed by Dr. Janis Lem of the Department of Ophthalmology. The department provides financial support for Dr. Lem s research and career development, and has also provided much of the specialized equipment for the facility. TCVR investigators have access to this facility along with other Tufts investigators.
