Untargeted Metabolomics

Untargeted metabolomics is a comprehensive, unbiased approach to measuring as many small-molecule metabolites as possible in a biological sample to discover novel pathways and generate new hypotheses.

Major Applications:

• Biomarker Discovery: Identifies unique molecular signatures or differential metabolites tied to specific health conditions, diseases, or environmental exposures

• Disease Diagnosis and Pathophysiology: Uncovers underlying disease mechanisms and metabolic shifts for conditions such as cardiovascular disorders, cancers, and inherited metabolic disorders.

• Microbiome Research: Characterizes the metabolic crosstalk and systemic biochemical interplay between a host organism and its gut microbiota.

• Drug Discovery and Personalized Medicine: Evaluates unexpected metabolic changes and efficacy resulting from therapeutic interventions or genetic variations.

• Environmental Biomonitoring: Detects and tracks human or ecological exposure to a broad spectrum of environmental contaminants and toxins.
