Targeted Metabolomics

Metabolomic Service

The term targeted metabolomics describes the simultaneous measurement of a pre-selected set of metabolites. Therefore, an assay is developed that comprises metabolites of one or more metabolic pathways of interest, i.e. there must be a priori knowledge about the object of investigation (e.g. a disease). Targeted metabolomics yields absolute quantification levels (concentrations) and can be used for biomarker discovery/validation and kinetic pathway analyses.

We use the ilab Core Management system to book services by internal and external users.

We offer the following assays for metabolite quantification:

This assay allows the determination of 630 metabolites from 26 biochemical classes using an assay kit from Biocrates® Life Sciences AG. Liquid handling is done on a ML Star Hamilton robot. The assay is based on LC-MS separation and detection (Agilent UHPLC, Sciex QTrap 5500). • Types of samples measured: plasma, serum, stool, cells • Amount of sample requested: plasma: 50 µl minimum, stool: 200 mg. • Species tested: human and mouse.

The assay quantifies different metabolites from 7 different metabolite classes using the Biocrates AbsoluteIDQTM technology. Liquid handling is done on ML Star Hamilton robot. Assays are based on LC-MS separation and detection (Agilent HPLC, CTC autosampler and API 4000 MS/MS).

  • Types of samples measured: plasma, serum, tissue, urine, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), lung lavage.
  • Amount of sample requested: liquids: 50 µL minimum, preferably 100 µL, tissue: 25-50 mg minimum.
  • Species tested: human, mouse, rat, rabbit, hamster, lamb, bovine and zebrafish.

Kit p180 allows parallel quantification of more than 160 metabolites (Download Metabolite list p180)
