Plant Targeted Metabolomics Service

With cutting-edge separation and analytical platforms, v-innovate Technologies provides reliable, rapid, and cost-effective plant targeted metabolomics based on LC-MS, GC-MS, CE-MS, and NMR, ensuring excellent robustness, reproducibility, and ultra-sensitivity.

Overview

Metabolomics is the comprehensive, unbiased, high-throughput scientific study and analysis of complex metabolite mixtures typical of plant extracts. This field is driven primarily by advances in mass spectrometry (MS). A general analysis of metabolic composition entails multiple steps: sample extraction, metabolite separation/detection/identification, automated data gathering/handling/analysis, and quantification. Plant metabolomics enables the establishment of plant metabolic networks and the measurement of their responses to environmental and genetic change but also provides insights into a deep understanding of plant phenotypes to development, physiology, tissue identity, resistance, biodiversity, and so on. Targeted metabolomics provides a high-resolution tool for the identification and quantitative analysis of targeted metabolites in plants. It has the advantage of high specificity and accuracy, and has been widely used to analyze and compare targeted metabolic compounds under different physiological states or developmental stages. v-innovate Technologies provides a wide spectrum of plant targeted metabolomics services, covering hundreds of plant metabolites including plant hormones, carotenoids, chlorophyll, lectins, toxins, etc.
