"I know firsthand the complexities of heterogeneous tissue. To truly understand cellular mechanisms and diseases, it's crucial to differentiate between the various cell types at play. While single-cell analysis has been game-changing, we have faced significant obstacles in maximizing its potential until recently. Our biggest problems at hand are throughput and the number of proteins that can be competitively analyzed compared to RNA sequencing. Therefore, it would make biological sense to detect 6000 or more proteins in a single-cell equivalent experiment. The timsTOF Ultra has successfully overcome these barriers, allowing us to explore the proteome of individual cells at lightning-fast speeds and unparalleled sensitivity, even from minute samples.
