Metabolomics Services
A Wide Range Of Metabolic Services From Discovery To Targeted Analysis
Metabolome means the complete set of small-molecule chemicals found within a biological sample and Metabolomics refers to the systematic identification and quantification of the metabolome of a biological system at a specific point in time. In metabolomics, metabolites and their concentrations directly reflect underlying biochemical activity and state of cells or tissues. For metabolome profiling, mass spectrometry is the most commonly used techniques.
The compounds which can be tested at DNA Xperts are widely covered, ranging from small water-soluble molecules to large lipids. We can analyze a variety of biological materials, including but not limited to biofluids and tissues from animals, cell cultures and humans.
Our experts with years of experience in metabolomics, bioinformatics, statistics and various application fields can help you plan, conduct, and report your metabolomics studies. Whether you want to study the whole metabolome, or just a few metabolites or pathways, we will closely work with you to define research purpose and develop customized plans.
Applications
Our metabolomics services can be applied to various fields, including but not limited to the agricultural industry, food industry, biomedical area, and pharmaceutical area.
- Agricultural industry: plant metabolomics, the development of new pesticides, etc
- Food industry: fruits, vegetables, dairy products, olive oil, etc
- Biomedical area: metabolomic profiling, biomarker discovery, etc
- Pharmaceutical area: drug toxicity, drug metabolism, etc
At DNA Xperts, we can provide a wide range of metabolomics services from discovery to targeted analysis.
Untargeted Metabolomics
Also called as discovery metabolomics, this method is used for the identification and quantification of detectable metabolites of control and test groups which are compared to identify differences between their metabolite profiles.
Targeted Metabolomics
This is a quantitative method for the identification and quantitative analysis of targeted metabolic compounds in organisms. We can provide a wide range of targeted metabolomics services, including targeted metabolic pathways, targeted metabolites analysis, plant metabolites analysis, organic compounds analysis, etc.
Unknown Metabolites Identification
This methodology is used to identify unknown metabolites, to provide accurate information like retention time, mass spectra, determination of the molecular mass and the elemental composition of the compound, etc. Combining this information with various algorithms, we can determine the identity of the compound.
