Microbial Metabolomics Service

v-innovate Technologies committed to providing reliable and cost-effective microbial metabolomics services for academia and various industries. Our services include microbial untargeted metabolomics services and target metabolomics services. Different solutions will be customized according to your purpose and samples, from sample processing to bioinformatics analysis.

Overview

The microbial genome is small, and the data obtained by genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics are relatively small compared to eukaryotes, and metabolome research will not be affected by this. There are probably at least 20,000 kinds of microbial metabolites that have been elucidated. With the aid of microbial cell metabolite full-component analysis, it can reflect the cell's response to environmental and genetic changes, and promote a comprehensive understanding of the physiological functions of microorganisms.

There is a close relationship between the microbial flora and the host. For example, changes in the composition of the intestinal flora and its metabolites may be related to various factors such as disease, obesity, and diet. Analyzing the microbial metabolome can help to find the microorganisms and metabolites that play a key role in the physiological and disease processes, and reveal the mechanisms of physiological processes and disease occurrence and development.

Microbial metabolomics has been widely used in different research fields, such as the identification and mutation breeding of microorganisms, functional gene research, metabolic engineering and fermentation engineering.

Based on high-resolution mass spectrometry technology, our company has established a metabolomics research platform for microbial primary metabolites and secondary metabolites, help you explore the relationship between biological problems and metabolites and microorganisms, find highly related metabolites and microorganisms, and then explore the internal network of metabolites, microorganisms and biological background. We will customize different solutions according to your samples to accurately identify and quantitatively analyze microbial metabolites.
