Breaking the Bottlenecks: Enhancing Throughput and Reproducibility in Proteomic Analysis

Proteomic analysis plays a vital role in drug discovery. Due to the high sensitivity of instruments used in proteomic analyses, consistent sample preparation is often the key to high-quality results and reproducibility. For example, proteomics analyses using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) require a meticulous and potentially time-consuming sample handling and preparation process. This step can often act as a significant bottleneck in proteomic analyses, especially when dealing with extensive datasets or numerous samples.

Automating sample preparation is an effective strategy for maintaining the consistency and throughput of proteomics mass spectrometry data. Solutions such as the Beckman Coulter Life Sciences Biomek i-Series Automated Liquid Handler can streamline and fully automate the multi-step sample handling and LC-MS sample preparation process. The Beckman Coulter Life Sciences Biomek i-Series Liquid Handler facilitates a highly controlled and consistent digestion of proteins to peptides, ensuring high consistency across samples. It also comes with a high deck capacity benefiting labs with large volumes of samples for handling.

Automation solutions like the Biomek i-Series Liquid Handler address a crucial pain point in proteomic analysis. By adopting these solutions, labs can achieve reliable and reproducible results while untangling the complexities of proteomics.
