Stable Isotope-Resolved Metabolomics (SIRM) Services

Stable isotope-resolved metabolomics (SIRM) has become a cornerstone in modern systems biology, offering precise insights into the dynamic flow of metabolites within living organisms. By using non-radioactive, stable isotopes such as 13C, 15N, or 2H, researchers can trace metabolic pathways with exceptional accuracy. This approach not only reveals fluxes through biochemical networks but also uncovers mechanistic links between metabolism and disease. For pharmaceutical development, nutrition science, oncology, and environmental biology, SIRM provides a powerful platform to decode cellular metabolism in real time.

Alfa Chemistry delivers specialized SIRM services that integrate advanced isotopic labeling strategies with state-of-the-art analytical technologies, enabling clients to answer complex biological questions and accelerate their scientific breakthroughs.

Comprehensive SIRM Service Portfolio

Alfa Chemistry's portfolio is built upon robust methodology, cutting-edge instrumentation, and a strong emphasis on accuracy and reproducibility. Key offerings include:

  • Isotopic Labeling Studies

Incorporation of stable isotope tracers (13C-glucose, 13C-glutamine, 15N-amino acids, etc.) to examine metabolic fluxes in mammalian cells, microorganisms, or tissue models.

  • High-Resolution Analytical Techniques

Integration of NMR spectroscopy, LC-MS/MS, GC-MS, and FT-MS for precise metabolite identification, quantification, and isotope distribution analysis.

  • Pathway and Network Mapping

Reconstruction of metabolic pathways, identification of bottlenecks, and visualization of metabolite routing through central carbon metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, lipid turnover, and nucleotide pathways.

  • Data Analysis and Interpretation

Application of advanced algorithms, such as SMIRFE for untargeted isotopologue detection and GOcats for ontology categorization, ensuring comprehensive and accurate interpretation.
