Ion chromatography (IC) was evaluated to demonstrate its ability to highly retain and separate polar metabolites that are poorly retained and resolved by reversed-phase chromatography. Ion chromatography was coupled with mass spectrometry (IC/MS) to quantitate a variety of polar organic acids in mouse muscle. The organic acids examined cover several metabolic pathways including glycolysis, the pentose-phosphate pathway, the TCA cycle, nucleotides, and amino acids.
