A Better Multiplexing Method– Isobaric Mass Tagging

•Less MS1 Complexity

    •Increased Throughput Concurrent MS analysis of multiple samples

    •Less consumed samples and less instrument time

•Fewer Missing Values

    • Identification and quantification achieved in a single run

    •No worries about irreproducibility

•Sample Origin Flexibility

     •Samples can be derived from cells, tissues or biological fluids

•Increased Multiplexing

     •Compare more than 3 conditions

•Multiple Comparisons and Improved Statistics

     •Incorporate replicates with multiple conditions: dose-response, time-course, multiple tissues, subcellular fractions, etc
