Methanol Generates Numerous Artifacts during Sample Extraction and Storage of Extracts in Metabolomics Research

Many metabolomics studies use mixtures of (acidified) methanol and water for sample extraction. In the present study, we investigated if the extraction with methanol can result in artifacts. To this end, wheat leaves were extracted with mixtures of native and deuterium-labeled methanol and water, wi...
