high-abundance peptides might be dampened. However, the FS
analysis enhances ion count on MS1 level that is reduced during a
DDP MS analysis and therefore enables signifi cant reduction of
MS runtime (Fig.

). Runtime for the Selpex approach is linear to
the number of samples. The analysis of three replicates including
ProtMAX processing and identifi cation time took about 5 min (

Note 7
). The list of selected peptide targets is very fl exible, is easy
to extend, and can be adapted according to specifi c goals.
