Label Free Quantitative Proteomics Data Analysis

Introduction

The detection techniques used in biosensors can be broadly classified into label-based and label-free. label-free quantitative proteomics does not use a stable isotope for chemical binding and labeling of proteins. Proteins are first digested with a protease into a peptide mixture, and then they analyzed by Liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and identified by database searching. It is suitable for the target molecules that are not labeled or the screening of analytes which are not easy to tag^[1].

Label-free method for quantitation may be the most straight-forward laboratory technique in the field. Comparison of isotope-labeled and unlabeled quantification as follows:

Advantages of service

• There is no need for expensive isotope label labeling, and the experimental cost is low
• The pre-treatment operation process is less, so that the sample is the closest to the original state, and is not limited by the sample conditions
• Lower sample size, suitable for trace sample detection
• Faster experimental cycles
