However, the lack of standardized quality control practices across laboratories poses challenges for data comparability and reproducibility. In response, we conducted a harmonization study within proteomics laboratories of the Core for Life alliance with the aim of establishing a common quality control framework, which facilitates comprehensive quality assessment and identification of potential sources of performance drift. Through collaborative efforts, we developed a consensus quality control standard for longitudinal assessment and adopted common processing software. We generated a 4-year longitudinal data set from multiple instruments and laboratories, which enabled us to assess intra- and interlaboratory variability, to identify causes of performance drift, and to establish community reference values for several quality control parameters. Our study enhances data comparability and reliability and fosters a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement within the proteomics community to ensure the integrity of proteomics data.The CRG/UPF Proteomics Unit is part of the Spanish Infrastructure for Omics Technologies (ICTS OmicsTech).
