Abstract

In recent years, single-cell proteomics (SCP) has become a valuable addition to other single-cell omics technologies for studying cellular heterogeneity. The amount of protein in a single cell is very limited, and in contrast to sequencing techniques, there are currently no means for protein amplification. Therefore, most single-cell proteomics approaches aim to maximize sample preparation efficiency while minimizing peptide loss. By reducing processing volumes to sub-microliters and avoiding manual transfer steps that could lead to peptide loss, peptide recovery, and the robustness of SCP workflows have been significantly improved. In this chapter, we describe a protocol for label-free SCP sample preparation using the cellenONE® platform and the proteoCHIP LF 48 substrate prior to analysis with high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
