  • Overview

    The aim of untargeted metabolomics is to comprehensively profile the full range of metabolites present within a biological sample. Several experimental factors strongly influence success: extraction method, separation strategy, ionization mechanism, mass spectrometer, and informatic software. Which combination of technologies is best? Although counting signals (i.e., metabolomic features) has commonly been used as a standard metric of comparison, this approach can be misleading and provide inaccurate results due to the significant number of artifacts in metabolomic data sets.
