“…In the reviewed literature, we did not find general agreement about protocol (experimental conditions), or optimal pH values for NMR-based metabolomics studies of CSF. Some studies did not report or adjust sample pH [8,23,24,26,32,35], while others manually adjusted it by adding acid/base [4,7,19,28,29,35,37] or employed a phosphate buffer with varying buffer capacity [5,6,13,18,20,21,25,27,31,33,34,38,39].
