Tendon Homogenization Using the Minilys

Proteomics involves the analysis and identification of protein structure and function. Through the Proteomics Core, investigators have access to a broad range of proteomics services to help them answer scientific questions. For this particular research project on tendon healing, the Minilys homogenizer was used to homogenize minced or intact tendon for protein extraction, followed by mass spectrometry analysis to identify unique peptides.
