Targeted metabolomics
Our Targeted Metabolomics Sevices
We offer a comprehensive range of targeted metabolomics services, designed to meet the needs of both standard projects and customized research requirements.
Established Analytical Panels: We provide pre-optimized panels for the quantification of key metabolites, including:
- Amino Acids: Profiles of essential and non-essential amino acids.
- Lipids: Free fatty acids, triglycerides, and phospholipids.
- Energy Metabolites: Intermediates of the Krebs cycle and organic acids.
- Microbiota-Specific Metabolites: Short-chain fatty acids, secondary bile acids, and more.
Custom Method Development: For research projects requiring the analysis of specific metabolites not covered in standard panels, we offer:
- Tailored Analytical Method Design: Development of methods to address unique research needs.
- Optimization and Validation: Ensuring compliance with international standards.
- Research Hypothesis Support: Assisting in hypothesis generation based on metabolomics data.
Technologies Used
Our targeted metabolomics analyses are powered by advanced mass spectrometry instruments and chromatographic techniques, including:
LC-MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry):
- Ideal for: analyzing polar metabolites, bioactive compounds, and pharmaceuticals.
- Features: offers high sensitivity and specificity for precise quantification.
GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry):
- Perfect for: analyzing volatile compounds and stable, low-polarity metabolites.
- Applications: monitoring fatty acids, sugars, and energy metabolites.
