摘要：Venous plasma metabolomics is a potent and highly sensitive tool for identifying and measuring metabolites of interest in human health and disease. Accurate and reproducible insights from such metabolomic studies require extreme care in removing preanalytical confounders; one of these is the duration of tourniquet application when drawing the venous blood sample. Using an untargeted plasma metabolomics approach, we evaluated the effect of varying durations of tourniquet application on the variability in plasma metabolite concentrations in five healthy female subjects. Tourniquet application introduced appreciable variation in the metabolite abundances: 73% of the identified metabolites had higher temporal variation compared to interindividual variation [Intra-Class Correlation (ICC) > 0.50
