![]() ![]() Nano-flow liquid chromatography (nano-flow LC) has been the mainstay in proteome research for >20 years 1, primarily because low flow rates improve peptide ionization by electrospray (ESI) for mass spectrometry (MS) and, hence, sensitivity 2, 3. This study demonstrates that micro-flow LC–MS/MS is suitable for a broad range of proteomic applications. We show that the same column can be used to analyze >7500 samples without apparent loss of performance. The system identifies >30,000 phosphopeptides in 12 h and protein-protein or protein-drug interaction experiments can be analyzed in 20 min per sample. Deep proteome analysis identifies >9000 proteins and >120,000 peptides in 16 h and sample multiplexing using tandem mass tags increases throughput to 11 proteomes in 16 h. Here we show that micro-flow LC–MS/MS using a 1 × 150 mm column shows excellent reproducibility of chromatographic retention time (2000 samples of human cell lines, tissues and body fluids. Nano-flow liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (nano-flow LC–MS/MS) is the mainstay in proteome research because of its excellent sensitivity but often comes at the expense of robustness. ![]()
