Metabolomics Analysis Services

Your partner in small molecule biochemistry.

Effective, routine analyses of small molecule metabolites and lipids can be challenging for many academic, medical, and commercial researchers. Without investment in the most advanced high-resolution LC-MS technology and without access to a reliable method and comprehensive reference library, detecting, identifying, quantifying, and interpreting small molecule data can be time-consuming and potentially inconclusive.

With nearly 23 years dedicated to metabolomics analyses and active contribution of data and services to more than 10,000 projects, resulting in citations in over 3,000 peer-reviewed publications, Metabolon is your ideal partner in small molecule analysis.

Only Metabolon has all four core metabolomics capabilities:

Coverage

We boast the largest validated coverage of up to 5,400 Tier-1 analytes detected within a single biological sample.

Comparability

We’re able to integrate multiple cohorts and studies into the same dataset, for scalable discoveries throughout the life of your research project.

Competency

Our ability to assist with your study design, run the analyses, generate high‐quality data, derive biological insights, make actionable recommendations, and deliver a functional report with consultative support helps you progress from concept to outcome to publication.

Capacity

Our state-of-the-art metabolomics laboratories are capable of processing hundreds of thousands of samples quickly and cost‐efficiently to service rapidly growing demand.

Driving Scientific Discovery

Metabolomics is a widely applicable technology that can deliver insights to expand and accelerate the impact of research across a variety of applications.

Industry Applications

• Pharma: Drug discovery and development companies have one goal – to achieve clinical success. Metabolomics provides data that can reveal unique disease pathways or functional insights that reduce the risk of failure and put you on the path to success.
• Academic Research: Academic research is vital to gaining new insights and advancing our understanding of biological systems to improve disease diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Metabolomics applications can be leveraged to capture the complexity of entire metabolic networks.
• Animal Health: Animal health encompasses a wide variety of disciplines. No matter the species of interest, metabolomics can help advance the understanding of complex biochemical alterations that can occur because of diet, environment, or disease.
• Nutrition: Nutrition forms a critical part of human health and development. Analysis of the metabolome can be the most comprehensive way to examine how variation in nutrition impacts overall health.
• Personal Care and Cosmetics: There is a science to developing effective personal care and cosmetic products. Metabolomics solutions for personal care offerings and cosmetics can help you develop better quality products and make your unique selling proposition more competitive.

Disease-Focused Research

Metabolomics data can support a range of disease-specific research, enabling further understanding of disease mechanisms, therapeutic targets, and uncovering better methods for monitoring therapeutic efficacy. Some key disease areas include:

• Cardiovascular Disease
• Diabetes
• Gastrointestinal
• Liver Disease
• Inflammation
• Neuroscience
• Oncology
• Renal Disorders

Targeted Panels and Single Analyte Assays

Our targeted approach provides absolute quantification for your analytes of interest to help you achieve your research and biomarker validation objectives with precise and validated methods. We have over 20 readily available offerings within our Metabolon Target portfolio and the ability to customize our panels to meet the needs of your specific application.

Global Discovery Panel

Our Global Metabolomics approach provides industry-leading coverage for Tier 1 analytes. This comprehensive coverage allows you to cast a wide research net, identifying over 5,400 metabolites across 70 major biochemical pathways within a single sample.

The Path to a Successful Study

Our in-house experts are here to help you every step of the way. Study success begins before you even send your samples, as we support you with study design consultation and sample collection best practices. After your metabolomics data is generated, our highly trained staff curate your reports and can provide data interpretation and post-project support.

No matter what your metabolomics project entails, our team of Ph.D. scientists has the skills and technical expertise to confidently navigate your project and deliver high-quality, meaningful results.

Commitment to Quality

You can not achieve your research goals without highly reproducible, quality data that are generated with validated methods. We take our commitment to quality very seriously and deliver state-of-the-art quality assurance and quality control at every stage of your study. In addition to adherence to US and International standards and regulations, we have also implemented robust quality management systems and obtained certifications to ensure data quality.

Quality Management System

Our robust Quality Management System (QMS) goes beyond internal quality assurance and quality control to include external certifications and adherence to those standards. Every procedure we perform, including sample management, data analysis, instrument maintenance, reagent qualification, and method validation is governed by an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system. All the experimental and instrument data generated are automatically monitored by our quality-control software and Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and then manually inspected and verified by our experienced lab personnel

Certifications and Data Privacy

Our laboratory is certified by Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) and accredited by College of American Pathologists (CAP) standards to perform diagnostic testing on human samples. We apply a rigorous Data Governance Program to ensure data integrity, data privacy, data security, and adherence to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Health Insurance Portability & Accountability (HIPAA;45 CFR 160, 164).
