In the face of these challenges, laboratory automation must be embraced as the solution to clear hurdles and sustain growth. However, the quality of the LC-MS analysis hinges on the sample preparation stage, a critical juncture that affects the accuracy, reproducibility, and throughput of the results. This is because sample preparation workflows in proteomics are still highly manual and time-consuming, making the process prone to human errors. Simply put, there are insufficient trained personnel to keep up with the sample preparation experiments to sustain the growing demand for proteomics. Automation: alleviating bottlenecksIn response to these aforementioned challenges, automation has been brought to the forefront as the solution to manual sample preparation, staffing, and standardization issues.
