Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article.

Abstract

15

Global urine metabolomics is a rapidly expanding field with the potential to discover

16

biomarkers of disease and exposure. To date most methods focus on rapid sample

17

preparation, using neat or diluted urine, together with high throughput analyses, and are

18

poorly suited for detection of low abundance metabolites present in urine samples. In this

19

study, novel methods have been developed to analyse urine by splitless nanoflowUHPLC-

20

nanoESI-TOFMS (nUHPLC-nESI-TOFMS) after pre-concentration by solid phase extraction

21

(SPE), thus enabling significant improvements in analytical sensitivity and coverage of the

22

urinary metabolome. In initial work, urine samples were extracted by both anion and cation

23

exchange mixed mode polymeric SPE cartridges and qualitatively compared with those using

24

conventional sample preparations using UHPLC-ESI-TOFMS analyses. Compared with neat

25

or diluted urine samples, SPE concentration of urine resulted in detection of additional

26

metabolites including bile acids, lipids, pharmaceuticals and markers of lifestyle, with little

27

loss of other components of the metabolome. Analyses of SPE preparations by nUHPLC-

28

nESI-TOFMS revealed excellent retention time repeatability with 3000 urinary metabolites have been characterised, a number that is expected to grow as

45

more sensitive analytical techniques are developed.9 These metabolites are typically 10 fold pre-concentration of sample extracts

77

which may lead to improved detection of low abundance metabolites using non-targeted LC-

78

MS techniques.19

Ultra-high performance LC-electrospray- ionisation-time-of-flight MS (UHPLC-ESI-

80

TOFMS) using reverse phase chromatography is a commonly used high resolution method

81

allowing separation of moderately polar and apolar metabolite classes. UHPLC technology

82

uses columns containing 1.7 µm sized particles resulting in better resolution of compounds

83

compared with traditional high-performance LC. TOFMS enables high resolution (
