Cell damage during sampling and quenching for metabolome analysis have been investigated at whole sample level using an OD-based method and ATP loss investigation, and at single cell level by means of flow cytometry. Escherichia coli was cultivated in shake flasks and sampled into several cold quenching solutions during exponential growth phase varying quenching solution composition and sampling temperature. For single cell analysis, the samples were incubated with selective propidium iodide dye and analysed via flow cytometry to differentiate between intact and damaged cells. It was found that every combination of quenching solution, temperature, or cooling rate tested influenced the E. coli cell membrane integrity indicating rupture which will not only let the dye in, but also intracellular ATP out of the cells, which is not desired in in vivo metabolome analysis.
