Abstract

• Problem for polar metabolites quantification with GC–MS due to low stability of some TMS derivatives. • TMS derivatives stability: importance of temperature storage before injection into GC–MS. • TMS derivatives stability: avoid multiple samplings from a unique vial. • Recommendations for robust quantification of plant polar metabolites by GC–MS.
