MtoZ Biolabs provides integrated Neuroproteomics Research solutions using advanced mass spectrometry-based proteomics to support studies in neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation, synaptic biology, and CNS drug development. Our services cover discovery and targeted proteomics for brain tissue, spinal cord, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), peripheral biofluids, and neural cell models to help you decode protein level changes underlying neurological disease.
Introduction
Neuroproteomics focuses on the global and targeted analysis of proteins in the nervous system, including brain regions, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and neuron derived cell models. Neurons and glial cells depend on tightly regulated protein networks for synaptic transmission, plasticity, energy metabolism, and survival, so alterations in the proteome often mirror the onset and progression of neurological disorders.
By combining deep proteome coverage with pathway and network analysis, neuroproteomics provides a functional view of the nervous system that supports disease mechanism research, molecular diagnostics, biomarker development, and drug target evaluation.
Service at MtoZ Biolabs
MtoZ Biolabs uses DIA MS and 4D proteomics platforms to perform large scale proteomic and post-translational modification (PTM) profiling of brain tissue and cerebrospinal fluid. These workflows help map signaling networks, uncover disease related pathway changes, and identify candidate biomarkers that support diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and prognosis in neurological disorders. Our targeted proteomics capabilities can further be used to qualitatively and quantitatively measure specific proteins or panels according to your study needs, including synaptic markers, neuroinflammatory mediators, and neurodegeneration related proteins.

FAQ
Q1: What types of samples are suitable?
We support a broad range of neurobiology related samples, including:
-
Fresh frozen or FFPE brain and spinal cord tissue
-
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), plasma, and serum
-
Primary neurons, glia, and mixed neural cultures
-
iPSC derived neurons, astrocytes, and organoids
-
Subcellular fractions such as synaptosomes or membrane fractions
If you are unsure whether your sample type is suitable, we can assess feasibility and optimize a suitable workflow.
Q2: How should I prepare my samples?
1. Ensure samples are freshly prepared or snap-frozen.
2. Avoid detergents, salts, and reducing agents that may interfere with LC-MS/MS analysis.
3. Store samples at –80 °C before shipment.
4. Transport samples on dry ice to maintain stability during delivery.
Detailed requirements and recommendations can be found in the Sample Submission Guidelines for Proteomics.
