Scienion AG. (9/13/22). "Press Release: Scienion and Cellenion Launch the proteoCHIP LF 48, for Label-free Single-cell Proteomics Sample Preparation on the cellenONE platform". Berlin & Lyon.

Optimized sample preparation workflows facilitate single cell proteomics applications.

Today, SCIENION and its subsidiary Cellenion, both companies part of the bioconvergence powerhouse BICO, announced the release of the proteoCHIP LF 48. This chip represents the first commercially available solution enabling reproducible automated miniaturized single- cell proteomics sample preparation and standardized workflow for label-free single-cell mass spectrometry-based proteomics analysis. The proteoCHIP LF 48 was developed in partnership with the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology in Vienna, Austria.

Single-cell proteomics is a cutting-edge field of research, as proteins are the main drivers of cellular function. In-depth characterization of individual cells by mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics leads to new discoveries about biological processes and allows better understanding of disease mechanisms.

Cellenion has been committed to single-cell isolation and applications in this field since its founding in 2016. The proteoCHIP LF 48, dedicated to label-free workflows, is the second proteoCHIP product brought to the market by Cellenion, after the proteoCHIP 12*16 for multiplex single-cell proteomics workflows launched last year and now used by many leading single-cell proteomics facilities around the world.

The proteoCHIP LF 48 is intended to be run in the cellenONE®, Cellenion’s market-leading instrument for single-cell isolation and ultra-small volume dispensing, which enables users to dispense and prepare a single cell in each well of the proteoCHIP, including on-deck cell lysis and protein digestion. The combination of cellenONE and proteoCHIP LF 48 enables all the front end of mass spectrometry on a single instrument with minimal user intervention, allowing preparation of up to 144 single cells per run. This overcomes the limitations of conventional workflows, including lack of automation and multiple manual sample handling steps, which result in important peptide losses throughout the process.

With the combination of both proteoCHIP versions, Cellenion now thus provides researchers with turnkey solutions for single-cell proteomics sample preparation workflows for both multiplex and label-free approaches.

“We are delighted to expand our single-cell proteomics offering with the launch of this new proteoCHIP,” said Guilhem Tourniaire, Managing Director at Cellenion. “This product complements our existing capabilities in sample preparation for single-cell proteomics, as it enables an end-to-end workflow for scientists undertaking label-free single cell proteomic studies.”

The proteoCHIP LF 48 was launched at the annual symposium of the Austrian Proteomics and Metabolomics Association (APMA) with a symposium focusing on advancements in single-cell proteomics, September 13-15, 2022. The conference was organized by the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) in Vienna, Austria.
