Although chemoselective labeling strategies show great potential in in-depth description of metabolomics, the associated time and expense limit applications high-throughput routine analysis. We report a fast effective strategy based on multifunctionalized monolithic probes. A rapid pH-responsive boronate ester reaction was employed to immobilize release probe molecules from substrate 5 min. The mesoporous surface hierarchically porous channels allowed for accelerated reactions. Moreover,...
