High-throughput, comprehensive, and confident identifications of metabolites and other chemicals in biological and environmental samples will revolutionize our understanding of the role these chemically diverse molecules play in biological systems. Despite recent technological advances, metabolomics studies still result in the detection of a disproportionate number of features that cannot be confidently assigned to a chemical structure. This inadequacy is driven by the single most significant limitation in metabolomics, the reliance on reference libraries constructed by analysis of authentic reference materials with limited commercial availability.
