Targeted metabolomics has gained popularity for the ability to rapidly quantify metabolites with a high degree of confidence, albeit with inherent limits to biochemical coverage. To address this, several groups have commercialized metabolomics kits which can quantify tens or hundreds of metabolites in a single kit. One advantage of using standardized platforms is to enable consistent measurements across experiments and between laboratories, improving the overall quality of metabolomics data. In order to accomplish this task, demonstration of consistency between laboratories is imperative. We have collaborated to conduct an international ring trial of the new AbsoluteIDQ p400HR (Biocrates AG), a kit which quantifies up to 408 metabolites across 11 different metabolite classes, using the Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ line of mass spectrometers.
