Tools and Techniques of Metabolomics
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR)
NMR spectroscopy enables non-destructive analysis of molecular structures and dynamics in biological samples. It is particularly useful for studying complex metabolite mixtures, protein-ligand interactions, and metabolic fluxes.
Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)
GC-MS combines gas chromatography's separation power with mass spectrometry's sensitivity, making it ideal for analyzing volatile metabolites, fatty acids, and small molecules. It is widely used in metabolite profiling, drug metabolism studies, and environmental analysis.
Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS)
LC-MS is a versatile platform for analyzing a wide range of metabolites, including polar compounds, peptides, and lipids. Its high sensitivity and selectivity make it indispensable in biomarker discovery, pharmacokinetic studies, and metabolomic profiling across diverse biological samples.
Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)
Our company's ICP-MS ionomics profiling service offers high-resolution analysis of elemental profiles, aiding in understanding metal ion transport, toxicity mechanisms, and nutritional assessments.
