Abstract
⺠Acylcarnitines and sterols are useful markers of metabolic changes in mammals. ⺠We summarize how these compounds have been in the past analyzed by MS. ⺠We describe some ambient ionization - MS (AMS) techniques able to analyze in situ solid samples. ⺠We describe our AMS method for sterols and acylcarnitines analysis in dried blood or plasma spot. ⺠Direct analysis of DBS by AMS represents a new approach for in situ metabolic profiling.
