Advanced GC-MS detection enables metabolomics analysis in model animals

A research team led by Prof. Chu Yannan at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences applied the untargeted analytical method of headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in rat organs and obtained the biological information of VOCs metabolized by related organs.
