Press Release Summary: AnaSpec has introduced ClearPointT Peptides, heavy
isotope-labeled peptides for absolute quantitation (AQUA) of proteins.

Press Release Body: San Jose, CA - May 16, 2008

AnaSpec, one of the world's leading providers of custom and catalog peptides, has
introduced ClearPointT Peptides, heavy isotope-labeled peptides for absolute
quantitation (AQUA) of proteins.

The use of mass spectrometry (MS) has helped advanced proteomics research by
providing qualitative information of thousands of known and unknown proteins. By
spiking protein tryptic digests with internal heavy isotope labeled peptide
standards, MS becomes an absolute quantitation (AQUA) method.1

AnaSpec's ClearPointT peptides offer a choice of heavy hydrogen (2H), carbon (13C),
or nitrogen (15N)-isotopes specifically labeled at single, multiple or universal
positions. They are available as both custom or catalog peptides.
