The Science of OMIVER
Metabolomics is the study of the metabolome, the complete set of metabolites found within a biological sample.
A metabolite is a molecule made or used when the body breaks down food, drugs, chemicals, or its own tissue.
Why is it important?
By measuring the metabolites in a sample, we can gain an understanding of its biochemical composition and structure, investigate the cause of biological effects, and provide insight into biological processes[ 2,3].
Essentially, by studying the metabolome, we can get a direct readout of physiological state, i.e what is happening in the system at that time point.
How do we measure metabolites?
Our services utilize MS-based approaches to identify and quantify our metabolite biomarkers. Since each metabolite has a characteristic mass-spectrometry spectra [4], we can use MS to identify those chemical patterns
