About this manual

Agilent Technologies offers an integrated workflow for protein identification that addresses the challenge of identifying low-abundance proteins within complex biological samples. The solution combines optimized preparation products with outstanding separation technologies and sensitive mass spectrometry performance.

The document details specific Agilent solutions across four main steps: sample preparation using Multiple Affinity Removal systems and fractionation columns; sample separation via HPLC-Chip/MS or Nanoflow-LC systems; sample analysis using ion trap MS tools; and sample identification. It highlights how these integrated technologies enable the identification of up to 10-fold more proteins compared to non-depleted samples.

Frequently asked questions

What are the main challenges in protein identification?

A single sample can contain thousands of proteins with abundances varying over many orders of magnitude, often making low-abundance proteins difficult to detect.

What is the purpose of the mRP-C18 High-Recovery Protein Fractionation and Desalting HPLC column?

This column recovers more than 98% of proteins and peptides from immunodepleted human, mouse, and rat serum samples.

How much can the number of identified proteins increase when using this column with Agilent LC/MS systems?

The number of identified proteins in the sample can increase as much as 10-fold.

What flow rate range does the electronic flow control (EFC) system support for the Nanoflow-LC system?

The EFC system provides stability and reliability at flow rates spanning 100 nl/min to 1 pl/min.
