Table 1.
Numbers of metabolites recovered in repeated samples compared to metabolites found in the chosen extraction protocol. Variation coefficients (CVmean) and (CVmin–Cvmax) were calculated from the fusion of the three platforms.
Urine | Blood | Saliva | Feces | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Sample preparation chosen | Urine/MeOH (1:8) |
Blood/MeOH (1:8) |
Saliva/ACN (1:2) |
MeOH/H2O (1:1) |
Number of metabolites | 151 | 104 | 90 | 208 |
CV mean % (min–max) | 7% (2–53%) | 8% (3–53%) | 7% (2–26%) | 11% (3–40%) |
