Metabolomics Service

v-innovate Technologies committed to providing reliable and cost-effective metabolomics services for academia and various industries. Our solutions including untargeted metabolomics service, targeted metabolomics service and untargeted lipidomics service, will meet your specific project requirements, from sampling to bioinformatics.

Overview

Metabolomics mainly studies small molecular metabolites with a molecular weight of less than 1500 as substrates and products of various metabolic pathways. By detecting the spectra of a series of samples, combined with chemical pattern recognition methods, qualitative or quantitative analysis of all or some metabolites in the biological system. Metabolomics analysis can determine the pathophysiological state of the birth, gene function, drug toxicity and efficacy, etc., and it is possible to find out related biomarkers. v-innovate Technologies' metabolomics services can be applied to many industries, including medicine, pharmacology, pathology, toxicology, food science, nutrition and other fields.

Metabolomics Analysis Methods

v-innovate Technologies offers several methods for different animal metabolomics applications.

Technical Platform for Metabolomics Services

The sensitivity and bias of different mass spectrometry platforms are different, and different platforms are complementary.

• Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)

The advantage of NMR is that it is non-destructive to samples and non-biased in measurement. It is suitable for liquid samples such as blood and urine, as well as solid samples such as tissues and organs. It has a fast measurement speed and can realize dynamic monitoring of the sample metabolome. The disadvantages are mainly low resolution and limited dynamic range.

• Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)

GC-MS has high resolution and a relatively complete database, making the qualitative more accurate. It is difficult to qualitatively and quantify substances that are not easy to derivatize.

• Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS)

LC-MS has high resolution, wide range of separation and analysis, and does not require derivatization.

Acceptable Sample Types

A variety of samples can be analyzed, such as plasma or serum, urine, saliva, cells, animal and plant tissues, fungi, bile acids, microorganisms, cerebrospinal fluid, lymphatic fluid, soil, feces and intestinal flora and other biological samples.

v-innovate Technologies offers several approaches to study animal metabolomics and deliver precise and detailed data and analysis report. We can also customize methods or establish new methods together with our collaborators to meet the specific needs of any project.
