Analysis of Lipid Metabolism
Answer Biological Questions with Accurate Lipid Quantification From Metabolon
Your Comprehensive Lipidomic Solution
Lipids represent a diverse class of metabolites that serve many biological functions. Accurate quantification of these metabolites is essential for understanding their role in biology and the development of metabolic diseases, cancer, inflammation, and central nervous system disorders.
While accurate quantification of lipids is vital to furthering our understanding their role in health and disease, it can be difficult to achieve this due to the diverse array of chemical structures and the high degree of isomeric overlap, which impact accuracy and make it difficult to reproduce experimental results.
Metabolon has overcome these challenges to develop the only lipidomic platform that can provide you with both accurate quantitative compositional analysis and complete speciation data. Our Complex Lipids Targeted Panel analyzes over 1,000 lipid species to give you broad comprehensive coverage and enable novel discovery.
Unrivaled Lipidomics Coverage and Quantification
Our unique solution provides single-point quantitation of 14 lipid classes, including principal phospholipid, sphingolipid, and neutral lipid classes. It also provides molecular species concentrations and the complete fatty acid composition of each lipid class, thereby offering unparalleled insight into the lipidome.
