App note mitra

Longitudinal monitoring of metabolomic profiles with at-home dried blood sampling devices

Application note

Our latest application note shows how minimally invasive longitudinal sampling reveals both day to day fluctuations as well as long term metabolic trends that are highly relevant for health monitoring. With newly established matrix specific reference ranges for dried blood and standardized quantitative measurements using biocrates kits, the study demonstrates how longitudinal metabolomics can help identify early deviations from an individual’s normal levels and provide a clearer, more reliable picture of metabolic health over time.

biocrates expands cross-platform compatibility

MxP® Quant 1000 kit now validated for Bruker EVOQ® DART-TQ⁺

We’re proud to announce that the MxP® Quant 1000, our most comprehensive kit, is now optimized and validated on the Bruker EVOQ® DART-TQ⁺ mass spectrometer (RUO). This marks a milestone – the first biocrates standardized kit for broad quantitative metabolomics on a Bruker triple quadrupole platform.
Covering 1,233 metabolites across 49 biochemical classes, the MxP® Quant 1000 kit enables robust, reproducible quantification across diverse sample matrices. Researchers can now benefit from the same standardized workflow across Bruker and other major mass spectrometer platforms, continuing biocrates’ long-lasting vendor neutrality and cross-platform reproducibility.

Energy metabolism in cancer

Mechanisms, plasticity, and applications

Cancer cells reprogram energy metabolism to fuel rapid growth, often relying heavily on glycolysis and glutaminolysis. Lactate and other oncometabolites generated in the TCA cycle drive proliferation and immune evasion. Metabolomics helps uncover these processes. With biocrates’ kits, key metabolites can be quantified and biomarkers like the pyruvate-to-lactate ratio investigated, offering insights into tumor biology and potential therapies.

Comparative analysis MxP® Quant 500 XL and MxP® Quant 1000 kits

Technical note

How comparable are the MxP® Quant 500 XL and MxP® Quant 1000 kits?
Our latest technical note compares 12 human plasma samples, including NIST SRM 1950, analyzed with both kits. Results show excellent reproducibility and continuity for both kits, while the MxP® Quant 1000 adds expanded coverage, optimized workflows, and enhanced quantification.

Using biocrates’ MxP® Quant 1000 kit across MS platforms

Technical note

Our latest technical note confirms the reproducibility and robustness of the MxP® Quant 1000 kit across various MS platforms and labs. High correlation and broad coverage were observed on all instruments. Paired with the AI-powered WebIDQ workflow manager, this solution streamlines data processing and ensures consistent, high-quality results, regardless of the MS system used.
