the FASP procedure

Wisniewski J.R. et al.
Nat. Methods 6:359-362.

Filter Aided Sample Preparation (FASP) method allows proteomic analysis of SDS-lysates with essentially any class of proteins and origin of biological material. In particular, FASP enables digestion of membrane proteins under conditions previously applied only to soluble proteins.
