This study presents an accessible, label-free single-cell proteomics (SCP) workflow using standard lab equipment. It enhances data quality assessment beyond simple counts for more interpretable results.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Proteomics
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Single-cell proteomics (SCP) provides functional insights into cellular heterogeneity.
  • Current SCP methods often require specialized instrumentation and lack comprehensive quality evaluation.
  • Existing evaluation metrics focus on identification counts, not biological interpretability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an accessible, label-free single-cell proteomics workflow.
  • To optimize sample preparation for enhanced data quality and reproducibility.
  • To introduce a robust data quality framework for more interpretable SCP analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized standard laboratory equipment including a single-cell dispenser and multiwell plates.
  • Employed trapped ion mobility spectrometry-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (timsTOF) for analysis.
