Abstract
Metabolic profiling (untargeted metabolomics) aims for a global unbiased analysis of metabolites in a cell or biological system. It remains a highly useful research tool used across various analytical platforms. Incremental improvements across multiple steps in the analytical process may have large consequences for the end quality of the data. Thus, this chapter concentrates on which aspects of quality assurance can be implemented by a lab in the (pre-)analytical stages of the analysis to improve the overall end quality of their data. The scope of this chapter is limited to liquid-chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based profiling, which is one of the most widely utilized platforms, although the general principles are applicable to all metabolomics experiments.
期刊介绍：
For over 20 years, biological scientists have come to rely on the research protocols and methodologies in the critically acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series. The series was the first to introduce the step-by-step protocols approach that has become the standard in all biomedical protocol publishing. Each protocol is provided in readily-reproducible step-by-step fashion, opening with an introductory overview, a list of the materials and reagents needed to complete the experiment, and followed by a detailed procedure that is supported with a helpful notes section offering tips and tricks of the trade as well as troubleshooting advice.
