Study of Metabolite Detectability in Simultaneous Profiling of Amine/Phenol and Hydroxyl Submetabolomes by Analyzing a Mixture of Two Separately Dansyl-Labeled Samples.

ABSTRACT: Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), widely used in metabolomics, is often limited by low ionization efficiency and ion suppression, which reduce overall metabolite detectability and quantification accuracy. To address these challenges, chemical isotope labeling (CIL) LC-MS has emerged as a powerful approach, offering high sensitivity, accurate quantification, and broad metabolome coverage. This method enables comprehensive profiling by targeting multiple submetabolomes. Specifically, amine-/phenol- and hydroxyl-containing metabolites are labeled using dansyl chloride under distinct reaction conditions. While this strategy provides extensive coverage, the sequential analysis of each submetabolome reduces throughput. To overcome this limitation, we propose a two-channel mixing s
