Many coaches inspire better performance by pressuring their teams. Now, proteomics researchers are using pressure to improve the performance of their analyses. In a simple solution to a time-consuming problem, the researchers have found that adding pressure early in their protocol squeezes four hours of waiting -- often allowed to last overnight for convenence -- into a minute. The result brings researchers closer to "proteomics on the fly."
