Accelerated biomarker discovery with advanced metabolomics investigation

Standardization, reproducibility, and access to validated platforms remain the biggest challenges in metabolomics research. In this video, discover how biocrates, a world leader in quantitative, mass-spectrometry-based metabolomics, is addressing these challenges head-on. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Innsbruck, Austria, biocrates empowers researchers with standardized kits, software, and contract research services, enabling the quantification of up to 1,800 biomarkers from less than one drop of blood. At this year’s ASMS, biocrates unveils its next-generation kit: the MxP® Quant 1000.

Learn how this cutting-edge solution is helping scientists bring their research closer to clinical application. Hear from Chris Basting, a PhD student at the University of Minnesota, as he shares how the MxP® Quant 1000 advanced his study on chronic inflammation in people living with HIV, even leading to an unexpected discovery.

BiomarkersBiomarkers are biological markers which can be measured and evaluated to indicate a biological state. The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :Compound AnalysisCompound analysis is used to discover specific compounds that could be promising candidates for pharmaceutical use. This potential is identified when compounds have the desired effect, such as interaction with a target protein, during high throughput screening.MetabolomicsMetabolomics is the study of small metabolites (the intermediates and products of metabolism). It involves the identification and quantification of cellular metabolites using analytical technologies such as GC, HPLC, NMR, and LC/MS.LipidomicsHIVSmall MoleculesASMSThe American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) is an organization dedicated to advancing the science and application of mass spectrometry. ASMS supports professionals through events, publications, and research initiatives, promoting innovation in areas like proteomics, metabolomics, and environmental analysis.
