This publication is a major collaboration led by the Knight group at University of Oxford describing the hallmarks of Covid-19 severity and specificity. It is an integrative multi-omics analysis, where the Evosep One was used for measuring 340 plasma proteomes providing excellent patient stratification.

Proteomics is a field in continuous development, where robust and optimized processes throughout the entire workflow – from sample preparation to acquisition strategies and downstream data processing are the goal. In recent years, data independent workflows have gained increased interest due to its high degree of reproducibility, better sensitivity and accuracy for quantification compared to classic data-dependent workflows.

Dynamic change in subcellular localization of signaling proteins is a general concept that eukaryotic cells evolved for eliciting a coordinated response to stimuli. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics in combination with subcellular fractionation can provide comprehensive maps of spatio-temporal regulation of cells, but involves laborious workflows that does not cover the phospho-proteome level.

Single-cell technologies are revolutionizing biology but have so far mainly been limited to imaging and deep sequencing. However, proteins are the main drivers of cellular function and in-depth characterization of individual cells by mass spectrometry (MS)- based proteomics would thus be highly valuable and complementary.

Proteomics workflows have become increasingly successful in the characterization of complex proteomes in great depth. Application to large sample cohorts requires a high degree of reproducibility and data completeness, which makes DIA workflows interesting.

In collaboration with Odense University Hospital in Denmark, the Mann group at Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research have developed a machine learning model based on their biomarker panel, which for the first time outperforms existing tests, laying the foundation for a generic proteomics liver health assessment.

We are getting a lot of questions about Evosep these days. To fill you in, we would like to share our thoughts on frequently asked questions about Evosep – and hopefully provide some inspiration to how our technology will support your research.

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by an accumulation of misfolded proteins. Cells normally recognize misfolded proteins and attempt to refold or to pass them on for proteasomal degradation. Chaperone proteins are central to recognizing and in refolding client proteins. When chaperone proteins fail to fulfill this function, conformationally altered proteins accumulate and can cause cell death.

In a collaboration with Thermo Fisher Scientific, the Olsen Group and Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research have described the new Thermo Scientific™ Orbitrap Exploris™ 480 mass spectrometer for high-throughput analyses with short gradients using the Evosep One.

Three years ago, the Evosep One technology was developed to target the growing need for high-throughput solutions for clinical and large-scale proteomics. Striking the right balance in performance, delivering both sensitivity, speed and robustness is an essential part of the Evosep One technology.

Facilitating early adequate therapy for patients infected by multidrug resistant bacteria calls for a novel precise and rapid diagnostic method as today’s resistance determinations are often slow and expensive.

This month we have been promoting a survey asking lab users within the field to share their thoughts on what matters in clinical proteomics. We see innovation as a community effort, and we look forward to share the results back with you.

Together, Thermo Fisher Scientific and Evosep are on a joint mission to develop standardized and scalable plasma protein quantitative profiling workflows. Our recent developments have been featured in an application note by the Precision Medicine Science Centre led by Dr. Emily Chen.

The need for scalable methods for functional annotation of phosphotyrosine sites has led the Olsen group, Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research in Copenhagen, to develop a new mass spectrometry-based workflow for high-throughput analyses. In a recent study, they implemented this new workflow used to describe how cancer mutations close to tyrosine phosphorylation sites in the EGF receptor rewire signaling pathways by switching protein interactors.

Perspectives of clinical proteomics for precision medicine and the resulting demands on front-end separation for mass spectrometric analysis

Evosep aims to improve quality of life and patient care by radically innovating protein based clinical diagnostics. We will make sample preparation and separation for mass spectrometry analysis 100 times more robust and 10 times faster to enable truly large cohort studies and provide the foundation for precision medicine.

Biomarker tests have become an important tool in clinical diagnostics. The PSA test evaluates the risk for prostate cancer, and inflammatory and myocardial panels save lives when performed fast enough. Still biomarkers, especially protein biomarkers, are not yet used to their full potential. While novel approaches employ mass spectrometry instead of immunoassay detection, one bottleneck remains: the need for robust, fast, and efficient sample preparation.

Almost 50 years after their inception, immunoassays (IAs) are still the predominant method in biomarker diagnostics. IAs are used to detect pregnancies, infections, allergies, and many other health events in our lives. But for how much longer?
