    Since the components of a sample for open metabolomic analysis are unknown a priori a pragmatic approach to method development has been taken in order to develop and select a chromatographic method suitable for high-throughput open metabolomic screening of urine by Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS). A total of 848 injections of diluted rat urine were made onto a UPLC-ESI-ToF-MS system using several different gradient profiles and run times to determine a suitable method for analysis of urine from male and female rats. Peak integral and multivariate data analysis were performed to investigate the quality of separation and information obtained from these multiple analyses. A suitable 8 min method was selected and is now used routinely for open profiling metabolomic analyses of urine. The use of a sample-relevant QC mix is also discussed. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2008
