Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomic studies commonly involve the use of T₂ filter pulse sequences to eliminate or attenuate the broad signals from large molecules and improve spectral resolution. In this paper, we demonstrate that the T₁ᵨ filter-based pulse sequence represents an interesting alternative because it allows the stability and the reproducibility needed for statistical analysis. The integrity of the samples and the stability of the instruments were assessed for different filter durations and amplitudes. We showed that the T₁ᵨ filter pulse sequence did not induce sample overheating for a filter duration of up to 500 ms. The reproducibility was evaluated and compared with the T₂ filter in serum and liver samples. The implementation is relatively simple and provides the same statistical and analytical results as those obtained with the standard filters. Regarding tissues analysis, because the duration of the filter is the same as that of the spin-lock, the synchronization of the echo delays with the magic angle spinning (MAS) rate is no longer necessary as for T₂ filter-based sequences. The results presented in this article aim at establishing a new protocol to improve metabolomic studies and pave the way for future developments on T₁ᵨ alternative filters, in liquid and HR-MAS NMR experiments.
