Testimonials

Our Metabolomics Core is involved in many long-term projects. Such projects require the generation of reliable and comparable data over a long period of time, so data quality is of paramount importance to us. We rely on the biocrates platform’s high-quality workflow and data analysis pipeline, which helped us eliminate variability and generate reproducible data. Their technology has also proven to be highly versatile and we could generate amazing insights in different indications using a wide spectrum of sample matrices (e.g. biofluids, tissues, cells). Therefore, I highly recommend the biocrates platform to any researcher looking to improve their data quality or just getting started in metabolomics.

Dr. Gernot Poschet
Executive Director, Metabolomics Core Technology Platform, Heidelberg University & German Cancer Research Center

biocrates’ team of experts is highly professional, the analytical team is meticulous and knowledgeable about their workflow from sample prep to data analysis. The data analysis solutions brought me the efficiency and enabled me to focus on result interpretation for my research program. I am confident in continuing work with the biocrates team for my discoveries in future studies.

Ru Wei, PhD
Scientific Director, Proteomics, Chemical Biology & Proteomics, Biogen, USA

One challenge we face in clinical research is the limitation of the number of precious samples and the unique nature of each sample. It can be difficult to acquire matched controls for every study. We tested the QMDB and the various filter options matched well to study groups and the results aligned with our control groups. Reassurance by the QMDB helped us to verify that our results were within normal ranges and provide further power to our study.

Teodoro Bottiglieri, PhD
Director of Research, Center of Metabolomics; Baylor Scott & White Research Institute, USA

Our institute was looking for a standardized and validated approach to further expand our metabolomics portfolio. In general, LC-MS-based methods lack comparability and robustness. In addition, most self-developed or commercially available targeted approaches do not cover a broad spectrum of metabolites. Therefore, we use the MxP® Quant 500 XL kit on a routine base as a certified lab, because it is the most comprehensive solution for quantitative results on small molecules and lipids and complementary to our NMR-based metabolomics panel.

Application note

Application areas

Metabolism is a core function of all biological systems, which makes the study of metabolomics relevant in virtually every realm of biology
Most common application areas for biocrates kits are diseases (cardio-metabolic, neurological, different cancers, autoimmune), epidemiology, pharma, drug, clinical studies, microbiome, consumer health

Matrices

biocrates kits have been optimized for plasma but can be used in a wide range of matrices such as dried blood, serum, urine, feces, cells, tissues, cell medium, milk, cerebrospinal fluid
Contact us for application notes or publications on your matrix of choice

Species

Metabolites in biocrates kits are mostly widely conserved internal metabolites, therefore all eukaryotic species are relevant but also E.coli and other species can be metabolically characterized using biocrates kits
Examples are human, mouse, rat, cow, dog, zebrafish, yeast, C. elegans, E. coli and many more
