What is Metabolomics?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Metabolomics is defined as the comprehensive analysis of the types and concentrations of metabolites. When metabolism is affected by external stimuli (environmental changes such as temperature, light, drug intake, etc.) or diseases, the types, and concentrations of metabolites in the cells can also change. By analysing these metabolic changes, it is possible to search for biomarkers, and develop and test hypotheses about the organism\u2019s metabolism.<\/p>\n

Metabolomics Application in Infectious Disease Research<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/i> Metabolomics help to reveal specific metabolic alterations and potential biomarkers that are associated with disease severity in patients with systemic infections.
\n<\/i> Great potential for exploring predictive and risk markers of disease development, and contributes to the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases.\n <\/p>\n

HMT\u2019s metabolome analysis employs CE-MS & LC-MS platforms. The technologies are optimized to measure metabolites related to cellular energy metabolism, e.g., amino acids, short-chain fatty acids, polyamines in most types of samples, including:<\/p>\n

\n<\/i> Serum
\n<\/i> Plasma
\n<\/i> Tissues
\n<\/i> Fecal matter
\n<\/i> Cells
\n<\/i> Animal models
\n<\/i> Clinical specimens\n <\/p>\n

HMT\u2019s metabolomics also supports studies on Covid-19.<\/p>\n

Quantitation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Over 100 polar metabolites, many of which can be altered in pathogenic infections, are quantifiable with single- or multi-point calibration.<\/p>\n

High Resolution<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good separation of structural isomers e.g., isobaric fatty acids, oxidative products.<\/p>\n
