Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today announces the launch of its comprehensive online resource center www.thermo.com/metabolomics (accesible at the Article webpage link) for metabolomics researchers.

This website provides tools and technical advice to help scientists studying small-molecule metabolite profiles. The Metabolomics Solutions Center enables users to tap into Thermo Fisher’s extensive knowledge of metabolomics in a single, easy to navigate location. It is available via www.thermo.com/metabolomics and is designed to benefit industry professionals from a variety of sectors including laboratory managers, instrument users and scientists performing metabolomics research.

Laboratory personnel and scientists who conduct metabolomics studies face challenges staying up-to-date with developments in the industry. Information on the Metabolomics Resource Center includes new metabolomics application notes, scientific posters, technical guides, webinars and customer articles from leading researchers within the fields of agriculture, environmental toxicology, disease, nutrition, micro-organisms, lipidomics and general applications are also available.

The website also features information on integrated solutions for sample preparation, chromatography, mass spectrometry and analytical software in metabolomics applications. It is customized with the latest metabolomics news and upcoming events and offers users the chance to subscribe to a free metabolomics e-newsletter for regular industry updates.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Labware and Lab SuppliesLabware and lab supplies include various forms of glassware, plasticware, reagents and personal protective equipment (PPE) and are used across all scientific laboratories, enabling daily tasks to be performed. Explore a range of flasks and beakers, petri dishes, carboys and storage bottles. Labware such as condensers, desiccators and burettes are also available for more specific tasks. Find the best labware and lab supplies in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
