RESUMEN

The preparation of complex biological samples for high-throughput mass spectrometric analyses remains a significant bottleneck, limiting advancement of the capabilities of mass spectrometry (MS) and ultimately limiting development of novel clinical assays. The removal of interfering species (e.g., salts, detergents, and buffers), concentration of dilute analytes, and the reduction of sample complexity are required in order to maximize the quality of resultant MS data. This study describes a novel sample preparation method that makes use of electrophoresis to prepare complex biological samples for high-throughput MS analysis. The method provides for integration of key sample preparation steps, including depletion, fractionation, desalting, and concentration. The prepared samples are captured onto a monolithic reversed-phase capture target that can be analyzed directly by a mass spectrometer. Up to 96 individual samples are simultaneously prepared for MS analysis in under 1 h. For standard proteins added to serum, this method provides femtomole level sensitivity and reproducible label-free detection (coefficient of variation <30%). This study demonstrates that this electrophoretic sample preparation system permits high-throughput sample preparation for mass spectrometric analysis of complex biological samples, such as serum, plasma, and tissue extracts.

RESUMEN

We demonstrate the formation of charged molecular packets and their transport within optically created electrical force-field traps in a pH-buffered electrolyte. We call this process photoelectrophoretic localization and transport (PELT). The electrolyte is in contact with a photoconductive semiconductor electrode and a counterelectrode that are connected through an external circuit. A light beam directed to coordinates on the photoconductive electrode surface produces a photocurrent within the circuit and electrolyte. Within the electrolyte, the photocurrent creates localized force-field traps centered at the illuminated coordinates. Charged molecules, including polypeptides and proteins, electrophoretically accumulate into the traps and subsequently can be transported in the electrolyte by moving the traps over the photoconductive electrode in response to movement of the light beam. The molecules in a single trap can be divided into aliquots, and the aliquots can be directed along multiple routes simultaneously by using multiple light beams. This photoelectrophoretic transport of charged molecules by PELT resembles the electrostatic transport of electrons within force-field wells of solid-state charge-coupled devices. The molecules, however, travel in a liquid electrolyte rather than a solid. Furthermore, we have used PELT to position amphoteric biomolecules in three dimensions. A 3D pH gradient was created in an electrolyte medium by controlling the illumination position on a photoconductive anode where protons were generated electrolytically. Photoelectrophoretic transport of amphoteric molecules through the pH gradient resulted in accumulation of the molecules at their apparent 3D isoelectric coordinates in the medium.
