Targeted Metabolomics Services
Targeted metabolomics is a quantitative approach where a group of metabolites are quantitated with the help of 15N or 13C (internal or external) compounds that are known as labeled isotopes. This analysis method helps in the overall understanding of the massive array of metabolites in the end products (like sweat, urine, etc.). Targeted metabolomics can be used to study biological functions and compare the metabolic systems of different organisms. Alfa Chemistry is an expert in targeted metabolomics. We will provide you with professional and quality targeted metabolomics services.
Applications of Targeted Metabolomics
Targeted metabolomics is widely used in a variety of studies, including but not limited to the following.
- Study of the optimum condition for plant growth.
- Food quality identification and food safety testing.
- Screening and diagnosis of congenital metabolic defects in newborns.
- Study on growth and development mechanism of crops as well as breeding protection.
Our Technical Platforms
Alfa Chemistry offers targeted metabolomics services that are based on our cutting edge separation and analysis platforms. Our main technical platforms are as follows.
Liquid chromatography (LC) is a form of chromatography that allows separation of complex mixtures of both semi-volatile and non-volatile compounds. Liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS) is the most critical platform for targeted metabolomics due to its high sensitivity, selectivity, and accuracy. LC-MS can detect and identify hundreds to thousands of metabolites in a single analysis. In addition, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS) and liquid chromatography-multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (LC-MRM) are also used in target metabolomics.
Gas chromatography (GC) is an analysis technique that identifies and quantifies a wide variety of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds. In targeted metabolomics, gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) is often used because of its high sensitivity, strong qualitative ability, stability and reliability. GC-MS is suitable for qualitative and quantitative analysis of unknown components in multi-component mixtures. It also can accurately determine the molecular structure and molecular weight of compounds. In addition, gas chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy (GC-MS/MS) are also used in target metabolomics.
- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a powerful analysis technique, which uses the phenomenon of NMR to obtain detailed information about the molecular makeup of a sample. In targeted metabolomics, the structure information, composition, and quantitative analysis of metabolites can be accurately analyzed by NMR.
