Benefits of Rapid Peptide Mapping
- Reduce risk of failure or wasted time – verify early and often to prevent downstream issues
- Fast answers – answers in days, not weeks
- Go high-throughput – hundreds of samples per week in our purpose built protein sequencing facility
- Cost effective – make it part of your routine
- Easy to use – subscription plan or bulk order make it easy for your team
- Avoid troubleshooting – a simple first step to avoid re-running work
- Quality control – check every batch, fast and easy
- IP Protection – confirm the unique sequence of your antibody
Beyond Binding Assays: Specificity Plus Reproducibility.
Since the protein sequence determines structure and function, rapid confirmation of the protein sequence offers an ideal complement to performance validation assays when revalidating antibodies. Validation is important: recent studies have shown that at least 50% of reagent antibodies cannot recognize their targets specifically, and half or more preclinical studies cannot be reproduced. But validation can be cumbersome, especially as multiple complementary validation experiments should be repeated on each new batch. Furthermore, properties other than binding behavior are often overlooked – causing problems downstream. Our peptide mapping mass spec service offers a precise, repeatable, and full confirmation of the protein sample and sequence information. This ensures the antibody is as expected, reducing the need for revalidation or troubleshooting downstream.

Who Uses MATCHmAb™ Peptide Mapping.
Researchers, Antibody Users
Researchers use tool antibodies every day, across many applications. Sequence confirmation is the first step in troubleshooting, or daily quality checks to prevent issues.
Antibody Vendors, Producers
Easily verify each new lot. Offer premium Verified by MATCHmAb™ products, or an add-on service.
Antibody Engineering
Cell line instability could introduce mutations to humanized antibodies. Verify the CDRs have not changed or confirm the full expressed sequence matches the engineered one.
CRO, Custom Developers
Checkpoints to increase confidence. Avoid troubleshooting re-runs with clients.

How It Works: The Evolution of Peptide Mapping & Analysis.
| MATCHmAb™ | Traditional Peptide Mapping | |
|---|---|---|
| Workflow | LC-MS/MS, single or dual digest | LC-MS only, single enzyme only |
| Bioinformatics | Real-time analysis, purpose built algorithms | Post-processing, off the shelf tools |
| Speed | Fast: 1-4 days | Slow: weeks |
| Throughput | High: > 100 per week | Low |
| Coverage | Higher, and amino acid level | Lower, and only peptide level |

Getting Started is Easy.
Here’s what we need:
- 20 μg of each protein of interest
- Reference sequence(s) in FASTA
- The sample should be reasonably pure and not a polyclonal mixture.
You get:
- Confirmation that the protein of interest is in your sample
- Coverage down to the amino acid level
- Any other observations for further investigation (e.g. suspected mutation, PTM, other dominant forms)
Don’t have the sequence yet?
- Next Generation Protein Sequencing can derive the sequence directly from the protein sample using REmAb® monoclonal sequencing or REpAb® polyclonal sequencing and discovery.
- Published sequences are available online. Check the antibody databases.
- If it’s a commercial antibody, ask your vendor to MATCHmAbTM it
- If you have access to the hybridoma or cell line, NGS can help.
