Project description:A meter-scale monolithic silica capillary column modified with urea-functional groups for hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) was developed for highly efficient separation of biological compounds. We prepared a ureidopropylsilylated monolithic silica capillary column with a minimum plate height of 12 μm for nucleosides and a permeability of 2.1 × 10−13 m2, which is comparable with the parameters of monolithic silica-C18 capillary columns. Over 300,000 theoretical plates were experimentally obtained in HILIC with a 4 m long column at 8 MPa; this is the best result yet reported for HILIC. A 2 m long ureidopropylsilylated monolithic silica capillary column was utilized to develop a HILIC mode LC-MS system for proteomics applications. Using tryptic peptides from human HeLa cell lysate proteins, we identified the comparable numbers of peptides and proteins in HILIC with those in reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) using a C18-modified monolithic silica column when shallow gradients were applied. In addition, approximately 5-fold increase in the peak response on average was observed in HILIC for commonly identified tryptic peptides due to the high acetonitrile concentration in the HILIC mobile phase. Since HILIC mode LC-MS shows orthogonal selectivity to RPLC mode LC-MS, it is useful as a complementary tool to increase proteome coverage in proteomics studies. [Original project description]
Project description:Lipids in the reference material NIST 1950 (50 uL) were extracted accodring to the Matyash protocol. The sample was analysed in 5 technical replicates by ESI(-)-HILIC-TIMS-MS with PASEF enabled with 100 ms and 500 ms.
Project description:By using FloChIP’s “sample multiplex” mode, we ChIPed in parallel 5 histone marks (H3K27ac, H3K4me3, H3K4me1 and H3K9me3), going from chromatin to sequencing-ready libraries, in just one day.
