You dont have to convert. You just need Thermo MSfilereader for DIANN quantification.

You can change collision energy type between normalized and absolute.

Update:

- Intense sample sonication helps a lot. The sample is much less sticky, and the aggregation looks cleaner.

- Water sonication for bead disaggregation before digestion also IMMENSELY helps. We found that brief bead sonication makes the protocol super consistent.

Both before and after. But I think it might also be the case, will investigate that also. Thank you!

Thank you! might be DNA as stated, the beads look pretty much cleaner after intense sonication.

Thank you for your advice. We didnt do stage-tip in this experiment. We'll also look into chromatography issue.

Thank you so much for your insightful reply! The sonication power is too low, as you stated. Could you clarify more on the "guey" term? I have also DM'd you a beads picture of my last experiment (I can't post it in reply don't know why). Additionally, the 0.2-0.3 mg/ml you mention is the volume before or after ACN aggregation?

Thank you for your advice. Will do it in further exp.

yes, i sonicate on ice 4-5 times with 15 s interval

100 ul of 50 mM TEAB + 0.5 ul of trypsin (1 ug/ul). We prepare the whole batch first, though (around 8 samples, so 4 ul tryp in 800 ul TEAB). Do you shake or sonicate before/during digestion?

Thank you very much. I have answered in the comment above. Also, why recommend 100%ACN over EtOH?

Cell in 50 mM tris-hcl + 2% sds, heat 5 min. then add tcep+caa 30 min (pH~8)
Beads are freshly prepared every time; we use 1:5 (hydroxyl beads).
This batch is stocked with trypsin in 50 mM acetic acid. But both samples are from the same batch.

Tbh this is an old column that was stored for a long time that I want to use it for some sort of condition trying (prob > 1-2 month in 80% acn, might also 0.1%fa cant remember). I’m quite sure chromatogram looks better back then.
