Quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) are two management processes that integral to the success of metabolomics including their application for acquisition high data in any high-throughput analytical chemistry laboratory. QA defines all planned systematic activities implemented before samples collected, provide confidence a subsequent process will fulfil predetermined requirements quality. QC can be defined as operational techniques used measure report these after acquisition. This tutorial review guide reader through use system suitability samples, why should applied how reported.

Large-scale suspect and non-targeted screening approaches based on high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) are today available for chemical profiling holistic characterisation of biological samples. These advanced techniques allow the simultaneous detection a large number features, including markers human exposure. Such interest biomonitoring, environmental health studies support to risk assessment. Furthermore, these have promising capability detect chemicals emerging concern (CECs), document extent exposure, generate new research hypotheses provide early warning policy. Whilst growing importance in environment food safety areas, respectively, CECs remain poorly addressed field biomonitoring. This shortfall is due several scientific methodological reasons, global lack harmonisation. In this context, main aim paper present an overview basic principles, promises challenges applied samples as specific introduce major specificities compared other fields. Focused liquid chromatography coupled HRMS-based data acquisition methods, addresses all steps analytical workflows. Beyond general picture, activities carried out topic within particular framework European Human Biomonitoring initiative (project HBM4EU, 2017–2021) described, with emphasis harmonisation measures.

Analytical Techniques for Metabolomic Studies: A Review

Bioanalysis, Год журнала: 2019, Номер 11(24), С. 2297 - 2318

Опубликована: Дек. 1, 2019

Metabolomics is the comprehensive study of small-molecule metabolites. Obtaining a wide coverage metabolome challenging because broad range physicochemical properties small molecules. To compounds interest spectroscopic (NMR), spectrometric (MS) and separation techniques (LC, GC, supercritical fluid chromatography, CE) are used. The choice for given technique influenced by sample matrix, concentration metabolites, amount sample. This review discusses most commonly used analytical metabolomic studies, including their advantages, drawbacks some applications.

Pre-Analytical Factors that Affect Metabolite Stability in Human Urine, Plasma, and Serum: A Review

Metabolites, Год журнала: 2019, Номер 9(8), С. 156 - 156

Опубликована: Июль 25, 2019

Metabolomics provides a comprehensive assessment of numerous small molecules in biological samples. As it integrates the effects exogenous exposures, endogenous metabolism, and genetic variation, metabolomics is well-suited for studies examining metabolic profiles associated with variety chronic diseases. In this review, we summarize that have characterized various pre-analytical factors on both targeted untargeted metabolomic involving human plasma, serum, urine were published through 14 January 2019. A standardized protocol was used extracting data from full-text articles identified by searching PubMed EMBASE. For plasma serum samples, affected fasting status, hemolysis, collection time, processing delays, particularly at room temperature, repeated freeze/thaw cycles. time fasting, centrifugation conditions, filtration use additives, normalization procedures multiple cycles found to alter findings. Consideration important issue epidemiological where samples are often collected nonclinical settings locations subjected temperature delays prior being processed frozen storage.

Abstract Background Demonstrating that the data produced in metabolic phenotyping investigations (metabolomics/metabonomics) is of good quality increasingly seen as a key factor gaining acceptance for results such studies. The use established control (QC) protocols, including appropriate QC samples, an important and evolving aspect this process. However, inadequate or incorrect reporting QA/QC procedures followed study may lead to misinterpretation overemphasis findings prevent future metanalysis body work. Objective aim guidance provide researchers with framework encourages them describe assessment outcomes mass spectrometry nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy-based methods untargeted metabolomics, focus on samples sufficient detail be understood, trusted replicated. There no intent proscriptive regard analytical best practices; rather, suggested. A template can completed studies progress ensure relevant collected, further documents, are provided on-line resources. Key practices Multiple topics should considered when protocols data.
