A groundbreaking method of detecting unknown chemicals in human serum is proposed in a study by a group from Chiba University. The approach answers a call for better ways of conducting non-targeted chemical analysis (i.e., that undertaken without prior knowledge of what specific compounds are present), and offers an approach suitable for identifying foreign chemicals in maternal serum samples and analysing their potential effect on metabolic pathways.
