Precision Metabolomics – The Metabolon Advantage
Metabolon’s Precision Metabolomics™, an advanced approach to metabolomics that has the sensitivity and specificity to accurately measure metabolites at a level that makes an n of 1 study in an individual practicable. This approach uses extensively controlled processes to provide data with the smallest degree of variability in the measurement (<5%) allowing the precise identification of the maximum possible number of biologically relevant metabolites in a sample.
The Metabolon Advantage
Process Monitoring
Labeled Internal Standards to monitor extraction and instrumental performance and reproducibility
50+ page QC report to ensure sample analysis was within quality specifications
Proficiency tested staff
Suite of documented SOPs
Extensive environmental controls and monitoring
High Impact Data
Approximately 1000 metabolites identified in plasma
Precision of quant < 5% error
22% of samples analyzed per night are for QC purposes
Visual inspection and approval of all automated library identifications
Extensive authentic standard library
Accurate Informatics
Chemo-centric workflow dramatically reduces potential for false positive identifications
Vast majority of compound identifications are Tier 1 – highest confidence possible
High-throughput workflow permits most of time to be spent on data interpretation
Biological Insight – Not just data
Huge institutional knowledge following >5000 studies
PhD Biochemists provide the link between the detected compound changes and the biological meaning and work collaboratively with PI
Powerful data analysis and visualization tools with MetaboLyncTM
