You can use regexp() on either strings or chars.
timestamp = 'Start=2021-06-11T:12:32:04:122';
out = regexp(timestamp,'(?<=:).*','match')
Given that you probably have more than one timestamp to process, you may have to tweak things depending on whether you're dealing with a string array or a cell array of char vectors. In this case, the input is a char vector and the output is a cell array of char vectors. Consider the case where the input is a cell array of char vectors:
timestamp = 'Start=2021-06-11T:12:32:04:122';
timestamp = {timestamp; timestamp; timestamp};
out = regexp(timestamp,'(?<=:).*','match');
out = vertcat(out{:})
