The sample throughput of high-sensitivity liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) based proteomics analysis is restricted by the pressure limitations of LC and column hardware, with some methods wasting as much as 50% of the method cycle time outside of MS acquisition. Traditional routes for boosting throughput include shorter columns and gradients, higher flow rates, and using trap-and-elute workflows – all of which introduce trade-offs in sensitivity and proteome depth.

 

The Thermo Scientific™ Vanquish™ Neo tandem direct injection workflow leverages hardware innovations and software intelligence to eliminate method overhead while maintaining data quality across nano, capillary, and micro-flow LC-MS.

 

In this webinar experts from Evotec and Bayer will showcase how they implemented the tandem direct injection workflow for their proteomics work. Dr. Nagarjuna Nagaraj will present on how Evotec is using tandem direct injection with nano-LC columns packed in-house to boost sample throughput of their  chemoproteomics screening pipeline, while Dr. Alexander Boychenko from Bayer will discuss how his lab is using a micro-flow tandem direct injection approach to analyze plasma samples for translational proteomics.
