Product news

Metabolon, Inc., the leader in metabolomics-driven biomarker discovery and analysis, announced today the availability of mView™, a data-rich biochemical profiling service for scientists in academic and government institutions.

mView will leverage the power of Metabolon’s platform technology in a format designed for academic and government labs. Offering online study submission and rapid completion times, mView represents an economical opportunity to answer important biological questions.

“We recognize the unique needs of the academic and government sectors for metabolomic-based analysis. mView is designed to provide these investigators with an affordable, global analysis of hundreds of analytes in a sample,” commented John Ryals, chief executive of Metabolon. “A high degree of precision and quick turn-around also helps to achieve important research goals and complete grant submissions.”

Metabolon’s validated platform technology, the backbone of all Metabolon’s services and diagnostic offerings, offers global analysis and identification of hundreds of biochemicals (the metabolome) in complex biological samples. It provides a detailed comparison of how biochemicals change in response to experimental variables as well as sophisticated statistical analysis for detecting significant changes across those biochemicals.

Ryals continued, “As a result of our significant progress in automating the generation of biochemical data, Metabolon is now able to offer the mView service. We believe that this new offering is an important step in bringing practical, cost-effective metabolomic solutions to academic and government researchers.”

LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis. Find the best LC-MS equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. Chem / BioinformaticsCheminformatics and bioinformatics are computational techniques used in chemistry and biology, respectively, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Cheminformatics focuses on compound information, whereas bioinformatics is mainly applied to analysis and modeling of genomics, genetic and sequencing information. Hardware and software is available for data acquisition, analysis, management and storage.BiomarkersBiomarkers are biological markers which can be measured and evaluated to indicate a biological state. The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis. Find the best GC-MS instruments and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.
