Adaptation of the AbsoluteIDQ p180 kit to the analysis of metabolites in the human aqueous humor.

The aim of this study was to use the commercial kit AbsoluteIDQ p180 (Biocrates) for the quantification of metabolites in aqueous humor (AH), as well as to determine the optimal volume of AH that is necessary to obtain reliable and reproducible results. Different volumes of AH (10 µl, 20 µl, and 30 µl) were tested. Of the 188 metabolites measurable with the Biocrates kit, 69 were detected in AH. Depending on the volume used, 41, 51, and 63 metabolites were measured using 10 µl, 20 µl, and 30 µl of AH, respectively. The repeatability of the measurements improved with increasing AH volume. Considering only those metabolites that were obtained with a CV < 15%, 34 metabolites at 10 µl, 41 at 20 µl, and 44 at 30 µl AH were received. On this basis, it can be concluded that the tested method can be successfully applied to analyze metabolites in the human AH. To achieve the most comprehensive detection range and highest repeatability of measurements, it is recommended to use 30 µl AH.
