Development of an Ultra-High Throughput and Highly Sensitive Proteomics Instrumental Platform


EMSL Project ID
32707

Abstract

This project will develop and initially demonstrate a powerful new "next generation" instrumental platform for ultra-high throughput proteomics that will enable a range of new measurement capabilities in support of EMSL users.

The new instrument platform builds upon EMSL strengths and IP in ion mobility separations (IMS), mass spectrometry (MS), electrospray ionization (ESI) sources, and ion funnel technologies, as well as existing proteomics capabilities in the EMSL and FCSD. The instrument platform will incorporate a novel high efficiency multi-emitter array ESI source, ultra-high speed gas phase IMS, and high speed time-of-flight (TOF) MS to achieve a 10- to 100-fold increase in throughput and ~50-fold gain in the sensitivity of proteomics measurements.

Support under the EMSL partner program will be specifically used to assemble and develop key components of the ESI-IMS-TOF MS platform. A significant fraction of the overall effort will involve the EMSL machine shop and IDL for mechanical and electronic hardware fabrication and assembly. The new proteomics platform will be evaluated in the context of a challenging application(s) (e.g., related to environmental biomarker discovery, microbial and systems biology research, bioenergy and bioproducts technology development) that benefits from the greatly improved measurement capabilities and is relevant to programmatic growth. The tentatively planned initial application(s) used for evaluation of the platform in year 2 will be subject to revision to target applications of greatest relevance to EMSL users.
