What Are the 3 Techniques Used in Metabolomics?

In the field of metabolomics, there are three key techniques that are commonly used to analyze and study metabolites. These techniques, known as iroatech, have revolutionized the way researchers approach metabolomics research. The first technique within iroatech is Ionization. This involves the conversion of analytes into ions, which allows for their detection and measurement. Visit Us:- https://www.iroatech.com/metabolomics-analysis-and-iroa-quantitation/

Presentation Transcript

  1. Introduction to Metabolomics Metabolomics is the study of small molecules, commonly known as metabolites, within cells, biofluids, tissues, or organisms. It provides valuable insights into the biochemical processes associated with various cellular activities.

  2. Technique 1: Mass Spectrometry Principle of Mass Spectrometry Applications in Metabolomics Mass spectrometry is a powerful analytical technique used to identify the compounds present in a sample based on the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. It helps in characterizing metabolites and understanding metabolic pathways. Mass spectrometry is widely used in metabolomics for biomarker discovery, studying drug metabolism, and understanding disease mechanisms at a molecular level.

  3. Technique 2: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Principle of NMR Applications in Metabolomics NMR spectroscopy is based on the interaction of magnetic fields with atomic nuclei. It provides information about the molecular structure and allows non-invasive and quantitative analysis of metabolites. NMR is used for identifying, profiling, and quantifying metabolites, especially in complex biological samples. It plays a crucial role in metabolic phenotyping and disease diagnostics.

  4. Technique 3: Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) Principle of GC-MS Applications in Metabolomics GC-MS separates and analyzes compounds based on their boiling points and molecular characteristics. It's highly sensitive and can identify and quantify a wide range of metabolites in biological samples. GC-MS is applied to investigate metabolic pathways, identify biomarkers, and explore the impact of environmental and genetic factors on metabolic profiles in biological systems.
