Background: Droplet microfluidics with push-pull and microdialysis sampling from brain slices, cultured cells and engineered tissues produce low volume mass limited samples containing analytes sampled from the extracellular space. This sampling approach coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) detection allows evaluation of time-dependent chemical changes. Our goal is an approach for continuous sampling and segregation of extracellular samples into picoliter droplets followed by the characterization of the droplets using nanoelectrospray ionization (nESI) MS.

Metabolic flux analysis of live cells using NMR enables the study of cancer metabolism and response to treatment. However, conventional NMR platforms require often prohibitively high numbers of cells to achieve significant resolution. In this work, we present a double H/C resonance NMR probe consisting of a solenoid coil with a less than 100 nL sensitive region.

Article Synopsis
  • Cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) is an important technique for studying protein structures and their interactions, but analyzing low-abundance samples can result in sample loss during preparation.
  • The study introduces an optimized method called O-MICROFASP that enhances XL-MS analysis for tiny samples, significantly increasing the identification of cross-linked peptides from minimal amounts of protein.
  • By using various cross-linkers and an advanced sample preparation technique, researchers identified over 2700 unique cross-linked peptides from just 5 μg of HeLa cell lysates, confirming the method's effectiveness for detailed protein analysis and interaction mapping.

Proteomics analysis of mass-limited samples has become increasingly important for understanding biological systems in physiologically relevant contexts such as patient samples, multicellular organoids, spheroids, and single cells. However, relatively low sensitivity in top-down proteomics methods makes their application to mass-limited samples challenging. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has emerged as an ideal separation method for mass-limited samples due to its high separation resolution, ultralow detection limit, and minimal sample volume requirements.
