Prepare for LC-MS Analysis with Automation

Tissue dissociation and homogenization are excellent candidates for automation in LC-MS workflows, helping scientists achieve consistent and reproducible protein analysis.

Share

Scientists use liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to quantify protein biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity in complex sample types, including serum, plasma, and tissues. As the demand to develop and deploy consistent and reproducible LC-MS assays continues to rise, researchers need better workflows for tissue dissociation and homogenization. These steps are the greatest source of variability during sample preparation for LC-MS, and traditional methods are tedious, time consuming, and labor intensive, introducing operator variability. To address these challenges, researchers can turn to automated tissue dissociation and homogenization workflows.

Why Do We Feel Butterflies in the Stomach?

These fluttering sensations are the brain’s reaction to certain emotions, which can be amplified or soothed by the gut’s own “bugs".
