Current trends and challenges in sample preparation for global metabolomics using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry

Abstract

The choice of sample-preparation method is extremely important in metabolomic studies because it affects both the observed metabolite content and biological interpretation of the data. An ideal sample-preparation method for global metabolomics should (i) be as non-selective as possible to ensure adequate depth of metabolite coverage; (ii) be simple and fast to prevent metabolite loss and/or degradation during the preparation procedure and enable high-throughput; (iii) be reproducible; and (iv) incorporate a metabolism-quenching step to represent true metabolome composition at the time of sampling. Despite its importance, sample preparation is often an overlooked aspect of metabolomics, so the focus of this review is to explore the role, challenges, and trends in sample preparation specifically within the context of global metabolomics by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). This review will cover the most common methods including solvent precipitation and extraction, solid-phase extraction and ultrafiltration, and discuss how to improve analytical quality and metabolite coverage in metabolomic studies of biofluids, tissues, and mammalian cells. Recent developments in this field will also be critically examined, incl...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
