Abstract
Metabolomics aims at the unbiased and high-throughput analysis of all the small molecular metabolites and their dynamic changes in an organism or a tissue or even a single cell. It has crossed the first decade far from the proposing of the metabolomics concept. There were great development either in analysis techniques or in metabolomics applications. Metabolomics is penetrating into the new technology development, multi-platforms integration, data processing, and quantitative and qualitative analysis of metabolites, wherein the qualitative analysis of metabolites is one of the important and difficult problems.
