Description

AU FOOD aims to acquire high‑throughput, high‑resolution MS equipment optimized for proteomics runs, due to new projects on alternative protein sources (e.g., single‑cell protein). AU FOOD currently operates a TimTof Pro (2nd generation dual TIMS) system, which is intended to be upgraded to an HT (4th generation TIMS XR). This upgrade will deliver higher analysis speed (MS/MS speed ~300 Hz PASEF) and increased ion capacity, enabling the analysis of larger peptide loads without saturation, as well as a significantly improved quantitative dynamic range achieved through the introduction of Advanced Digitizer Technology (ADT). There is a need to identify more proteins in complex samples. The upgrade is expected to result in approximately 70–76% more identified parent ions/precursors. We also seek improved reproducibility in the quantification of parent ions/precursors, which will improve by more than twofold (>2×) with the HT system. The HT system enables more than a halving of the run time per sample (from 30–60 minutes with the current system to 5–30 minutes with HT), allowing for well over a doubling of the number of samples processed per day (from currently 10 samples per day to mo…
