Abstract excerpt
Borate is an antibacterial preservative widely used in clinical and large-scale epidemiological studies involving urine sample analysis. Since it readily forms covalent adducts and reversible complexes with hydroxyl and carboxylate groups, the effects of borate preservation in (1)H NMR-spectroscopy-based metabolic profiling of human urine samples have been assessed. Effects of various concentrations of borate...
