Spectral counting schematic. Spectral counting is a label-free quantitative proteomic method in which each sample is subjected to individual LC-MS/MS analysis. The number of identified tandem mass spectra from peptides within the same protein are then compared across treatment groups and the relative quantification of that protein is assessed based on the number of spectra.
