Metabolomics 2023 workshop report: moving toward consensus on best QA/QC practices in LC-MS-based untargeted metabolomics

Metabolomics. 2024 Jul 9;20(4):73. doi: 10.1007/s11306-024-02135-w.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: During the Metabolomics 2023 conference, the Metabolomics Quality Assurance and Quality Control Consortium (mQACC) presented a QA/QC workshop for LC-MS-based untargeted metabolomics.

OBJECTIVES: The Best Practices Working Group disseminated recent findings from community forums and discussed aspects to include in a living guidance document.

METHODS: Presentations focused on reference materials, data quality review, metabolite identification/annotation and quality assurance.

RESULTS: Live polling results and follow-up discussions offered a broad international perspective on QA/QC practices.

CONCLUSIONS: Community input gathered from this workshop series is being used to shape the living guidance document, a continually evolving QA/QC best practices resource for metabolomics researchers.
