Mass spectrometry-based proteomics typically relies on highly sensitive nano-flow liquid chromatography (LC) but this can reduce robustness and reproducibility. Here, the authors show that micro-flow LC enables robust and reproducible high-throughput proteomics experiments at a very moderate loss of sensitivity.
