Analytical Performance of Micro Pillar Array Columns (μPAC™) for Metabolic Profiling

Metabolic profiling studies have become indispensable in a wide range of research fields, they allow profound insights into the biochemistry of an organism at a certain moment. Liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry have become vital tools in these studies and more sensitive mass spectrometers alongside new or improved LC techniques allow scientists to retrieve more information from minute sampling amounts. In this study, plant extract samples are used to compare the analytical performance of a µPAC™ nano LC column to state-of-the-art ultra performance LC columns.
