Though a recent paper about the data-distorting potential of gas chromatography in metabolomic studies is far from perfect, it does at least draw attention to the absolute criticality of robust experiment design – on both sides of the argument. And that’s got to be a good thing.

As new technology platforms push us to the limits of what’s possible, the metabolomics community is closing in on the future of the field: routine and rapid quantitative analysis.
