## Abstract A method for the comprehensive profiling of the __N__‐acyl‐homoserine lactone (AHL) family of bacterial __quorum‐sensing__ molecules is presented using liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to a hybrid quadrupole linear ion trap (LTQ) and Fourier‐transform ion‐cyclotron‐resonance mass spec
