Sample preparation required the following instrumentation: 2, 10, 100, and 1000 µL pipettes, a 40 µL syringe, an analytical balance, and a shaker. Sample data was collected on an Agilent VNMRS-600 MHz spectrometer that is 14.1 Tesla Magnex magnet equipped with a 5-mm cryogenically cooled radio-frequency probe. The spectrometer operates with the system of VNMR-J 2.3 software. Both the 1D Proton and 1D HSQC spectra data were processed in MestReNova. In MATLAB, Principal Component Analysis was completed. Two groups of four identical replicates each were made using twelve unlabeled (natural abundance) carbon compounds and six 13 C labeled compounds. The concentration of each unlabeled compound was randomly generated on the range of 0.5 mM to 4 mM. The six 13 C labeled concentrations were constant within both groups. The NMR spectra were collected using an Agilent VNMRS-600 MHz spectrometer. The data were then preprocessed using MestReNova and MATLAB. In MestReNova the FID was zero filled and a window function was applied. The FID was then Fourier transformed. After, spectrum was then phased and baseline corrected. In MATLAB, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was completed. After analysis of the data it was determined that the concentration of glucose in the 1D proton spectrum did not match the concentration of glucose in the 1D HSQC.
