Popis: Metabolome analysis in micro physiological models is a challenge due to the low volume of cell culture medium (CCM). Here, we report a LC-MS-based untargeted metabolomics protocol for the detection of hepatocyte extracellular metabolites from micro-scale samples of CCM. Using a single LC-MS method we have detected 57 metabolites of which 27 showed >2-fold shifts after 72-hours incubation. We demonstrate that micro-scale CCM samples can be used for modelling micro-physiological temporal dynamics in metabolite intensities.Graphical Abstract
