Biocrates

Biocrates provides the fast track to metabolic biomarker signatures. With targeted metabolomics kits and services for quantitative, reproducible, and high throughput analyses, Biocrates enables researchers to acquire comprehensive metabolic information more quickly, and more reliably. Biocrates is the partner of choice for Metabolic Phenotyping. They have several kits available including MxP Quant 500 which quantify up to 630 metabolites from 26 biochemical classes quantified from 10 µL sample and the new MxP Quant 500 XL covering >1000 small molecules and lipids. Some of the application areas are Microbiome, Nutrition & Wellbeing, Neurology and Infectious diseases & Covid 19. Also a Test Service in own laboratory is available.

Metabolomics

Biocrates employs a quantitative approach to all their kits and services. Metabolite panels covering a wide range of analytes are selected based on their application to various metabolic-related diseases and fields of study.

The assays from Biocrates employ a mix of isotope-labeled internal standards, external calibration curves and quality control samples to generate quantitative results for every analyte. The quantitative nature allows results to be directly compared with the scientific literature or other studies.

Having absolute quantification allows for the calculation of the relationships between different metabolites such as sums and ratios of important metabolic indicators.

QMDB – Quantitative Metabolomics Data Base

The QMDB contains metabolite concentration ranges detected in human plasma samples from healthy individuals. Included subjects were undiagnosed of any diseases and therefore are considered a healthy reference. Many filter options are available (including demographics, BMI, lifestyle choices, etc.) to precisely match your reference group of interest.

QMBD is based on MxP Quant 500 and AbsoluteIDQp180 assay data.
