An angled-shape tip-based strategy for highly sensitive proteomic profiling of a low number of cells

Profiling proteins plays an essential role in understanding the functions and dynamic networks in biological systems. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis commonly requires multistep sample processing, which results in severe sample loss. Although the recently developed microproteomic strategi...

description Profiling proteins plays an essential role in understanding the functions and dynamic networks in biological systems. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis commonly requires multistep sample processing, which results in severe sample loss. Although the recently developed microproteomic strategies have substantially reduced sample loss droplet microfluidic technology, specialized equipment and well-trained personnel are needed, which may limit their wide adoption.
