Please acknowledge the Proteomics and Mass Spectrometry Core Facilityin publications and talks. It is a requirement of funding agencies and CRUCIAL FOR FUTURE FUNDING.
We acknowledge Dave McCall in the Proteomics and Mass Spectrometry Core Facility (RRID: SCR_ 018992) in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Colorado Boulder for data acquisition and analysis using the Waters Select Series Cyclic IMS mass spectrometer, funded by NIH 1S10OD038278-01.
We acknowledge the Proteomics and Mass Spectrometry Core Facility (RRID: SCR_ 018992) in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Colorado Boulder for data acquisition and analysis using the Thermo Orbitrap Q-Exactive HF-X, funded by NIH S10-OD025267
An RRID is a unique reference tag associated with a specific research resource. Robust metrics tracked by an RRID in publications enable the metrics needed for requesting new instrument funding and promotes meticulous rigor and reproducibility of research results.
