Untargeted metabolomics is an explorative, non-hypothesis-driven approach that investigates the entire set of metabolites, i.e., the metabolome, within the biological system of interest.
This method allows for the simultaneous identification and quantification of hundreds or thousands of metabolites, providing a holistic view of the biochemical state of an organism or biological system.
Through untargeted metabolomics, it is possible to explore metabolite dynamics under various physiological, pathological, or experimental conditions, enabling significant discoveries in fields such as personalized medicine, nutrition, environmental research, and pharmaceutical development.
We offer high-quality untargeted metabolomics services across a wide range of biological fluids and tissues
Including:
Biological fluids: plasma, serum, urine, saliva, cerebrospinal fluid, and more.
Tissues: human and animal samples from specific organs (e.g., liver, muscle, brain) or plant tissues.
Our services are distinguished by their high sensitivity and specificity, enabled by the use of advanced mass spectrometry technologies coupled with liquid and gas chromatography.
Our technologies
GC-MS
Mass Spectrometry coupled with Gas Chromatography
Specialized for volatile metabolites and low molecular weight compounds.
Optimal for metabolites such as sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, and volatile organic compounds.
Applications: characterization of the gut microbiome, energy metabolism analysis.
