Article Abstract
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. Here we show that micro-flow LC-MS/MS using a 1 × 150 mm column shows excellent reproducibility of chromatographic retention time (<0.3% coefficient of variation, CV) and protein quantification (<7.5% CV) using data from >2000 samples of human cell lines, tissues and body fluids. 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. 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. We show that the same column can be used to analyze >7500 samples without apparent loss of performance. This study demonstrates that micro-flow LC-MS/MS is suitable for a broad range of proteomic applications.

Background: A reliable analysis of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables is crucial for food safety and regulatory compliance. Traditionally, analytical-flow liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been the gold standard but, shifting to low-flow LC-MS/MS presents an improved alternative that enhances sensitivity, reduces the injected amount of sample and aligns with the principles of green analytical chemistry. Operating at micro-flow rates significantly reduces solvent consumption and organic waste, which is particularly important for routine control laboratories.

An in-depth exploration of molecular composition of human milk could provide a scientific basis for the development of substitutes. The present study was conducted to analyze human milk proteins from 110 individuals from five regions of China and across three stages of lactation to investigate the change patterns. We developed a micro-flow liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (μLC-MS/MS) system with data-independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics technology that can rapidly and stably characterize the human milk proteome.

Oxylipins are well-known lipid mediators in various inflammatory conditions. Their endogenous concentrations range from low picomolar to nanomolar, and there are growing demands to determine their concentrations in low-volume matrices for pathological studies, including blood, cerebrospinal fluids from animal disease models, infants, and microsampling devices. Most of the published quantification methods for comprehensive profiling of oxylipins still require more than 50 µL plasma as a starting volume to detect these low levels.

The accurate and sensitive analysis of sub-proteomic samples, such as host cell proteins (HCPs) in recombinant products and stem cells in medical devices, is crucial for ensuring product safety and efficacy in the biopharmaceutical industry. However, current analytical techniques, such as conventional analytical-flow LC-MS/MS, face limitations in sensitivity due to the low concentrations of target proteins and the complexity of the sample matrix. In this study, a highly sensitive and repeatable micro-flow LC-MS/MS strategy was developed by replacing analytical-flow tubing with micro-flow tubing on an existing analytical-flow LC-MS system for sub-proteomic sample analysis.
