Based on our own experience and the evaluation of recent large-scale plasma mass spectrometry (MS) based proteomic studies (1, 2), we identified two outstanding challenges: slow and delicate nano-flow liquid chromatography (LC) and irreproducibility of identification of data-dependent acquisition (DDA). We determined a optimal solution reducing these limitations with robust capillary-flow data-independent acquisition (DIA) MS. This platform is capable of measuring 31 plasma proteomes per day. Using this setup, we acquired a large-scale plasma study of the diet, obesity and genes dietary (DiOGenes) comprising 1,508 samples.
