Abstract

Introduction: The Metabolomics Quality Assurance and Quality Control Consortium (mQACC) organized a workshop during the Metabolomics 2022 conference. Objectives: The goal of the workshop was to disseminate recent findings from mQACC community-engagement efforts and to solicit feedback about a "living guidance" document of QA/QC best practices for untargeted LC-MS metabolomics. Methods: The workshop focused on four QC-related topics, with a short presentation on each topic followed by audience poll and open discussion. Results: Participants expressed the need for detailed guidance on a broad range of QA/QC-related topics accompanied by use-cases. Conclusion: Ongoing efforts will continue to identify, catalog, harmonize, and disseminate QA/QC best practices, including outreach activities, to establish and continually update QA/QC guidelines.
