Internal Curve issues hbettenhausen  2017-08-24 13:04
 
Hi,

I have been off/on using skyline for metabolomics analysis. Recently, we took some beer samples and instead of doing the external curve, we did an internal curve. The amounts we added of S-adenosylmethionine are attached(just for reference).
The issue is…I don’t know if Skyline likes my internal curves. I did not do an external WITH the internal, so it has nothing to reference as the curve…and since the samples are not “standards,” I’m not sure what to categorize them as.
We are looking to quantify the SAM in these samples so that we can go further with some more experiments.
 
I’m not sure if it makes sense, but if you have any insight, I’d love to hear!
Thank you,

Harmonie

It would be helpful if you could send us your Skyline document.

In Skyline, you can use the menu item:
File > Share
to create a .zip file containing your Skyline document and supporting files including extracted chromatograms.
You can upload that .zip file here:

I am not sure I understand what you were doing in your experiment. Do you want to use S-adenosylmethionine as a global standard to normalize against and you are trying to decide what amount you should spike in in order to get the best results? Are you trying to quantify the limit of detection of S-adenosylmethionine?
What graph would you like to see?
