Abstract:
An improved capillary liquid chromatography procedure, incorporating column switching in combination with mass spectrometry, is reported. The dual column system allows for rapid inject-to-inject cycle times to improve the speed of protein identification for proteomics applications. Full gradient elution of peptides from either of the two C18 columns can be achieved in less than 17 min while maintaining sufficient resolution for the peptides to be detected and fragmented by the mass spectrometer for protein identification. Importantly, the use of two columns for subsequent injections is reproducible and without carry-over. The limit of detection for the system is between 25 and 50 fmol per injection. This fully automated system is capable of analyzing and identifying proteins from an entire 96-well plate in about 27 h.
