We developed pretreatment methods for free amino acids and short-chain fatty acids for in comprehensive metabolomic analysis. A large amount of 3-nitrophenylhydrazine was used as a derivatization reagent for them. As a result, the reagent was detected as high ion intensity signal in obtained LC/MS chromatogram. Conventionally, solid-phase extraction was applied for the removal of the derivatization reagent. However, it is difficult to sufficiently recover and detect the various derivatized free amino acids and short-chain fatty acids without separating completely from the derivatization reagent. Therefore, we investigate the method for removal of excess unreacted derivatization reagent in comprehensive metabolomics.
