Systematic re-evaluation of the long-used standard protocol of urease-dependent metabolome sample preparation.

In the urinary metabolomics for finding biomarkers in urine, owing to high concentrations of urea, for chromatography-based metabolomic analysis, urea needed to be degraded by urease. This urease pretreatment has been the key step of sample preparation for standard urinary metabolomics until today e...
