Metabonomics: Understanding Human Metabolism
21 Jul 2014
Dr Matthew Lewis describes how the MRC-NIHR Phenome Centre investigates what makes people metabolically different. By analyzing large cohorts of patients and performing epidemiological studies, an insight into the understanding of human metabolism can be achieved. NMR and UPLC mass spectrometry are used with a combination of different chromatography methods to gain accurate analysis of small molecules in human samples.

ACQUITY UPLC® BEH HILIC Columns
WatersACQUITY UPLC® BEH HILIC columns contain the rugged 1.7 μm unbonded BEH particles and are designed to retain and separate very polar basic compounds.These unique columns are optimized and tested to produce efficient and reproducible separations under UPLC® HILIC conditions. ACQUITY UPLC BEH HILIC columns overcome a major weakness of HILIC stationary phases: chemical stability. The unbonded silica stationary phases often used in HILIC are prone to dissolution at neutral pH. The rugged BEH particle’s wide usable pH range overcomes this pH limitation and results in long column lifetimes. ACQUITY UPLC™ BEH HILIC columns offer advantages such as retention and separation of very polar basic compounds, alternate selectivity as compared to reversed-phase chromatography, increased ESI-MS sensitivity, easier sample preparation, high efficiency and long column lifetimes.
