Smile! Protein and peptide sample preparation automated

Application for high throughput proteomic sample prep for LC-MS analysis with ENRICH-iST on Biomek i7

The challenge:

Achieving consistent, high-quality results in proteomics sample preparation for LC-MS analysis goes beyond addressing common challenges such as sample loss, contamination, and time constraints. The next step is enhancing reproducibility and minimizing manual intervention across large-scale workflows.

The solution:

Unlock the power of automation. PreOmics® and Beckman® have joined forces to deliver a fully automated, high-throughput LC-MS sample preparation solution. Minimize cross-contamination and significantly enhance protein identification rates by integrating the PreOmics® ENRICH-iST workflow with Beckman®’s Biomek i7 liquid handling platform. The result? High-quality, reproducible data with less hands-on time—ready to meet the demands of high-throughput proteomics.

Apply! Simple, streamlined workflows

1. Adding samples
Samples should be liquid, homogenates, or a soft pellet.
2. ENRICH-iST kit setup
Set up the ENRICH-iST consumables on the Beckman Biomek i7 Liquid Handling System®.
3. Sample preparation
Run pre-defined protocols in consultation with your automation specialist.
4. MS analysis
Analyze samples by LC-MS.
5. Data analysis
Process data to see improved peptide identities.

Results

Figure 1: Comparison of protein IDs and coefficient of variation (%) from plasma sample preparation following manual and automated workflow. Automation of the ENRICH-iST technology on the Biomek i7 workstation resulted in a higher number of protein identifications and comparable intraplate variation (n = 48 for plasma samples and blanks).

Figure 2: Cross-contamination during plasma sample preparation following manual and automated workflows. The total protein intensity in blanks prepared using the Biomek i7 workstation is negligible compared to plasma samples, indicating no cross-contamination during automation (n = 48 for plasma samples and blanks).
