Gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOF-MS) has become a promising technique for simultaneous and rapid analysis of small metabolites in complex mixtures. The aim of this work was to establish the quantitative nature of the information generated by amino acid analysis...
