Extracted ion chromatograms of amino acids (leucine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and threonine) which were separated by the PFP column with mobile phase additives (A) 0.1% formic acid; (B) 0.1% acetic acid; (C) 5 mM ammonium acetate (pH = 6.5) in positive ionization mode. |
Extracted chromatograms of metabolites. (a) nucleotides: cytidine, adenosine, and 2-deoxyguanosine; (b) amines: serotonin, thiamine, and tyramine; (c) amino acids: glutamate, lysine, and tyrosine; (d) others: tryptophan, carnitine, and pantothenic acid; obtained on the HILIC column with solvent additives: 10 mM NH4HCO2 (pH = 3) (left); 5 mM NH4HCO2 (pH = 3) (middle); 10 mM NH4Ac (pH = 6.5) (right) in positive ionization mode. |
MS response of metabolite standards analyzed by the PFP column with various solvent additives: 0.1% formic acid (blue), 0.1% acetic acid (red), and 0.02% acetic acid (green) in negative ionization mode.

Extracted ion chromatograms of metabolite standards: hydrocortisone (1), tyramine (2), serotonin (3), 2′-deoxyguanosine (4), tryptophan (5), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (6), biotin (7), pantothenic acid (8), mannose (9), lauric acid (10), N-acetyl-L-aspartic acid (11), caprylic acid (12), maleic acid (13), and taurocholic acid (14); analyzed by the HILIC column with different solvent additives in negative ionization mode. Under different condition groups (a) and (b) include metabolites with relatively low and high ESI intensity, respectively. |
(a) Base Peak Chromatograms (BPCs) of zebrafish embryos reconstituted in water/methanol (10/90, v/v) and analyzed by the HILIC with optimal solvent additives; (b) the number of metabolites detected in the same zebrafish samples under the same chromatographic conditions in positive ion mode. |
(a) Base Peak Chromatograms (BPCs) of zebrafish extracts reconstituted in 100% (or 10%) water in methanol obtained with optimal chromatographic conditions, and (b) the number of metabolites detected in the same zebrafish samples under the same chromatographic conditions in negative ion mode. |
