Enhance plasma proteomics with automated sample preparation
Monday, April 28, 2025 at 16:00 BST / 17:00 CEST / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT
Plasma samples are invaluable in proteomics research due to their rich protein content, which provides insights into biomarkers and disease states. However, preparing these samples for analysis presents challenges, particularly in enriching low-abundance proteins amidst a high dynamic range.
PreOmics' ENRICH-iST kit addresses these challenges by offering a robust, all-in-one solution that simplifies the enrichment of low-abundance proteins in plasma, serum, and cerebrospinal fluid samples. When automated on the Beckman Coulter Life Sciences Biomek i7 Dual Hybrid Workstation, researchers can increase sample throughput and reduce errors caused by manual handling.
In this webinar, experts from the Center for Life Science Automation will explore the automation of the ENRICH-iST kit on the Biomek i7 workstation, demonstrating its impact on proteomics workflows and the advantages of integrating automation into sample preparation.
Key learning objectives:
- Understand the challenges of plasma sample preparation in proteomics and how the ENRICH-iST kit addresses these issues.
- Explore the automation of the ENRICH-iST kit with the Biomek i7 Dual Hybrid Workstation.
- Learn about the improvements in throughput, reproducibility, and data quality achieved through automation.
Who should attend?
- Proteomics researchers and laboratory technicians seeking efficient sample preparation methods.
- Laboratories aiming to enhance throughput and reproducibility in proteomic analyses.
- Scientists interested in automating sample preparation workflows.

Speakers
Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Kerstin Thurow studied chemistry and earned her doctorate from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 1995. She habilitated in measurement and control engineering in 1999 and was appointed to the professorship of Laboratory Automation at the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Rostock the same year. Since 2004, she has held the Chair of Automation Technology/Life Science Automation and is Director of the Center for Life Science Automation. With over 250 publications, including three monographs, her research focuses on life science and analytical processes, robotics, and system integration and engineering. She is also a founding member of the Academy of Sciences Hamburg and a member of the Technical Academy acatech.
Katharina joined PreOmics in 2022. As Product Manager, she is now responsible for the Plasma Solutions and ENRICH products. She holds a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from the University of Regensburg and is an expert in protein biochemistry, cell biology, and analytical technologies. Before PreOmics, Katharina worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher and Project Leader at the Institute for Functional Genomics in Regensburg, where she managed the LC-MS-based proteomics facility, driving advancements in mass spectrometry workflows and proteomic research.
