Centre's open platform for LC-MS-based large scale metabolomics. Our aim in making this platform available in its entirety is to lower activation energy barriers involved in decentralising the application of metabolomics in biomedical research by distributing knowledge gained from centralised investment. By creating an open platform, we aim to help globalise metabolic profiling capabilities for greater impact across an increasingly interdisciplinary landscape. By adopting these methodologies for LC-MS global profiling, practitioners can benefit immediately from the knowledge contained herein, greatly reduce the resources spent on redundant assay development and MetID, and cooperate on building a more complete atlas of the metabolome observed in LC-MS-based global profiling.
