Next-Generation Mass Spectrometry Reveals How DIA Deepens Proteome Coverage

A multivendor comparison in a neonatal mouse model of bronchopulmonary dysplasia found that DIA, especially on next-generation platforms such as Orbitrap Astral and timsTOF Ultra, greatly expanded peptide and protein detection while preserving broad biological concordance. The deeper coverage improved subcellular and pathway annotation, increased differential protein detection, and reduced estimated sample-size needs, although platform-specific technical differences still complicated direct comparisons.
