Abstract
- A new approach to enhancing information recovery from cryogenic probe 'on-flow' LC--NMR spectroscopic analyses of complex biological mixtures is demonstrated using a variation on the statistical total correlation spectroscopy (STOCSY) method. Cryoflow probe technology enables sensitive and efficient NMR detection of metabolites on-flow, and the rapid spectral scanning allows multiple spectra to be collected over chromatographic peaks containing several species with similar, but nonidentical, retention times. This enables [sup.1]H NMR signal connectivities between close-eluting metabolites to be identified resulting in a 'virtual' chromatographic resolution enhancement visualized directly in the NMR spectral projection. We demonstrate the applicability of the approach for structure assignment of drug and endogenous metabolites in urine. This approach is of wide general applicability to any complex mixture analysis problem involving chromatographic peak overlap and with particular application in metabolomics and metabonomics.
