Overview of Metabolomics Services

Metabolomics is the study of metabolism, specifically the science of identifying and quantifying the biochemical byproducts of metabolism, called cellular metabolites. This is achieved by using analytical technologies such as NMR and mass spectrometry combined with sophisticated statistical methods to interpret the generated data. Compared with genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics, metabolomics provide a direct and global snapshot of all the metabolites, and tell the researchers what have happened, making it more and more popular in disease research, toxicology, environmental analysis, agriculture, biofuel development and nutrition.

Creative Proteomics can help you to deal with various formats of biological samples of different origins, such as biological fluids, tissues, and food products. All the analytical procedures are performed with advanced NMR and Mass spectrometry instruments. Especially the MS platform, combined with different MS detector (TOF, quadrupole and ion trap, or tandem/hybrid MS), gas chromatography (GC) or liquid chromatography (LC).

Our metabolomics services include:

  • Global metabolite profiling
  • Targeted & untargeted metabolomic profiling
  • Lipidomic profiling
