Exploring 3 technology building blocks for integrated proteomics sample preparation

To enable automated, compact, and high-throughput systems for proteomics, it is key to integrate the sample preparation e.g., with active fluidics. We present three approaches that highlight the power of chip processing to tackle this enormous challenge in the proteomics field.

Summary

Three promising approaches for integrated sample prep are presented: on-chip, high-performance liquid chromatography for protein separation, integrated electrical-field gradient (EFGF)-based protein separation, and programmable droplet processors. These approaches offer automation, miniaturization, integration, and multiplexing capabilities.
