Ion suppression should be considered as a critical issue for biomarker determination when comparing heterogeneous metabolic profiles. Raw chromatograms and mass spectra crosschecks are mandatory to reveal potential ion suppressions in such cases. Dilution is a suitable approach to filter reliable biomarker candidates before their identification and absolute quantification.
