Rapid identification and measurement of biomarkers
ESA Biosciences says its Metabolomics system is providing researchers with a powerful tool to identify and monitor small molecule cellular biomarkers of disease and disease treatment
This approach, while powerful, leads to the generation of an enormous amount of data to be analysed from complex multi-component metabolomics samples.
Determining subtle changes in the biomarker levels and identifying low abundance components can also be a problem with these analytical methods.
To address these challenges, ESA has applied its expertise in oxidation chemistry to develop the Metabolomics system as a complementary technique to an NMR or mass spectrometer to greatly enhance the capabilities of any metabolomics laboratory.
The system analyses only those compounds, which are redox active.
In addition, the system's sequential array design allows for easy segmentation of data from metabolomics samples into easily managed segments.
Processing data quickly and efficiently, the Metabolomics system also possesses the detection capability to monitor even low abundance markers.
The system is said to overcome many of the shortcomings of other analytical techniques for these types of studies and provides important new capabilities in the emerging field of metabolomics. Request a free brochure from ESA Biosciences ...
