Updated project metadata. High-throughput has become a substantial need in many omics investigations. In proteomics the sample preparation workflow consists of multiple steps, whereby with each additional manual step more bias is added to the sample. Especially for label-free quantification experiments this drastically reduces the outcome. Here, a positive pressure workstation was evaluated to increase automation of sample preparation and decrease input time and consumables. The semi-automated workflow with the Resolvex A200 workstation including the sorbents Maestro and WWP2 performed equally well to the routinely conducted manual workflow, with similar technical variability in MSMS-based identifications of peptides and proteins. Both sorbents produced highly reproducible results within a range of 10-300 µg of peptide starting material. A direct, on-column sample preparation using the NBE columns - without conditioning and equilibration of the sorbents -works generally robust, whereby consumables and time are drastically reduced.
