Protein Quantitation

Accurate relative protein quantitation is one of the cornerstones of quantitative proteomics. It is essential to the proper understanding of biological assemblies or for biomarker panels discovery experiments.

Quantify more proteins

开发以满足样本限制和吞吐量的需求

Accurate relative protein quantitation is one of the cornerstones of quantitative proteomics. It is essential to the proper understanding of biological assemblies or for biomarker panels discovery experiments. The unique combination of speed, selectivity, sensitivity and robustness delivered by Bruker’s proteomics solutions allow users to obtain reliable quantitative information for more proteins while working from limited amount and/or short gradient times.

PASEF®-LFQ and 4D-Match Between Runs (MBR): get the best from two worlds

Typical challenges in non-targeted protein quantitation are the cycle time (defining the chromatographic peak resolution), the uniqueness of the ion(s) chosen to determine a peptide amount (selectivity) and the system sensitivity (quantitation of low-abundance compounds). MS-based approaches provide comprehensive quantitative results but overlapping ions reduce the selectivity of these workflows. MS/MS (DIA) based quantitation provides excellent selectivity at the cost of reduced sensitivity.

Tims-Pasef®基于无标签的定量(Pasef®-lfq)结合了两种方法中最好的。TIMS既提供了分离的额外维度,也提供了大大提高选择性,而Tims细胞的预浓缩效应提供了更大的灵敏度。Pasef®与传统的DDA方法相比,周期时间与狭窄的纳米-UHPLC峰兼容,而其速度(> 100 Hz MS/MS)极大地提高了父离子选择的可重复性。
In this case, the timsTOF Pro’s unique 4D-MBR approach allows to overcome the missing value problem with an unprecedented sensitivity.

Enter the 4th dimension

In some cases, highly complex samples or short gradient analysis, the 100 Hz MS/MS repletion rate is not sufficient to reproducibly select the same ions over a large set of analyses

在这种情况下可再生的碰撞十字交会tion determination (mobility) enables 4D-Match Between Runs (MBR) which maximizes the number of proteins quantified from Label Free Quantification experiments while maintaining the highest level of confidence for high throughput sample analysis. The 4D-MBR approach is supported by the latest PEAKS and MaxQuant versions. Read our correspondingLC-MS154申请注释.

踏入未来:引入Dia-Pasef®
For data independent acquisition (DIA), dia-PASEF®leverages the correlation between molecular mass and mobility to target the densest peptide region. The extra dimension results in increased selectivity, increased sensitivity and shorter cycle times. For more information on how dia-PASEF®pushes the limits of 4D-Proteomics™, read ourLC-MS157 application note.
