Venue: Online Webinar, 12:00-13:00 CET, Swiss Metabolomics Society Overview: Prof. Gerard Hopfgartner, University of Geneva Sensitive identification and quantification of endogenous and exogenous metabolites or lipids in metabolomics and drug metabolism is based on the combination of separation sciences (e.g., LC or SFC) and mass spectrometric detection. Recent instrumental improvements in high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) have enabled data independent information acquisition (DIA) schemes, such as SWATH. Moreover, implementing differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) into the workflow as the use electron induced…

Venue: Online, 9:00 AM - 2:30 PM PST, MANA Overview: Untargeted metabolomics and lipidomics data provide exciting prospects for defining biological mechanisms and finding novel hypotheses and disease associations. Current workflows mostly rely on accurate precursor masses and matching experimental to library MS/MS spectra. However, False Discovery Rates (FDR) for this classic method remain poorly studied. FDRs may possibly be much larger than anticipated due to multiple adduct species, (relative) retention time exclusions, and in-source fragmentations. This symposium will discuss…
