Abstract
A method for high throughput screening of probes is described. These probes are useful for characterization and measurement of unbound metabolites in a fluid sample, particularly characterization and measurement of levels of unbound free fatty acids. By practice of the disclosed invention, a profile of unbound metabolites can be determined for an individual which can be used to determine the individual's relative risk for disease such as stroke, cardiac disease and cancer.
