Stir bar sorptive extraction method was used for investigation of the urinary volatile profiles in male and female Phodopus campbelli and Phodopus sungorus hamsters. Additionally, female Phodopus roborowsky urinary profiles were characterized. A quantitative analytical approach allowed comparisons of 17 selected compounds in urine. Results showed that campbelli and sungorus species show similar urinary volatile profiles for males and females. Differences appeared only in concentrations. Several unique compounds, such as pyrazine derivatives, were found to be gender-and age-specific. P. roborowsky females exhibited a completely different urinary volatile profile from campbelli and sungorus females, featuring a unique set of substituted quinoxalines.
