Mission

The mission of the ABRF Proteomics Standards Research Group (sPRG) is to promote and support the development and use of standards in proteomics for the benefit of all research laboratories, resource facilities and individual scientists including ABRF members and member laboratories.
Questions or interest in joining an ABRF research group? Contact us!
The sPRG is committed to identifying and implementing technical standards that reflect the ABRF’s commitment to accuracy, clarity, and consistency in the field of proteomics. Examples of technical standards include, but are not limited to, reference materials, data sets, conditions and procedures that give proteomics researchers and analysts independent criteria to evaluate their abilities to produce predictable, consistent results. The sPRG strongly supports ongoing efforts for standardization of the recording and reporting of proteomics experiments.

Studies
ABRF sPRG 2019 Study
(Closed). Validation and characterization results of the sPRG heavy-labeled phosphopeptide standard from the 2019 cross lab study were presented at the 2019 ABRF annual meeting in San Antonio (2019 poster). Manuscript forthcoming. Requests for access to raw data or participation in future studies should be directed to: [email protected]
ABRF sPRG 2018 Study
(Closed). The sPRG announces a new heavy-labeled phosphopeptide standard and a study to test your ability to detect endogenous phosphopeptides with it. The study is anonymous so everyone is encouraged to participate.
