An ambient-temperature storage and stabilization device performs comparably to flash-frozen collection for stool metabolomics in infants

Abstract Background Stool metabolites provide essential insights into the function of the gut microbiome. The current gold standard for storage of stool samples for metabolomics is flash-freezing at − 80 °C which can be inconvenient and expensive. Ambient temperature storage of stool is more practic...
