Evaluation of Sample Preparation Strategies for Human Milk and Plasma Proteomics

Sample preparation is the most critical step in proteomics as it directly affects the subset of proteins and peptides that can be reliably identified and quantified. Although a variety of efficient and reproducible sample preparation strategies have been developed, their applicability and efficacy d...
