A High-Sensitivity Low-Nanoflow LC-MS Configuration for High-Throughput Sample-Limited Proteomics.

ABSTRACT: This work demonstrates the utility of high-throughput nanoLC-MS and label-free quantification (LFQ) for sample-limited bottom-up proteomics analysis, including single-cell proteomics (SCP). Conditions were optimized on a 50 μm internal diameter (I.D.) column operated at 100 nL/min in the direct injection workflow to balance method sensitivity and sample throughput from 24 to 72 samples/day. Multiple data acquisition strategies were also evaluated for proteome coverage, including data-dependent acquisition (DDA), wide-window acquisition (WWA), and wide-window data-independent acquisition (WW-DIA). Analyzing 250 pg HeLa digest with a 10-min LC gradient (72 samples/day) provided >900, >1,800, and >3,000 protein group identifications for DDA, WWA, and WW-DIA, respectively. Total method cycle t
