Cell Metabolomics Services

Cellular metabolomics qualitatively and quantitatively describes the end products of intracellular and extracellular regulation that are the ultimate responses of biological systems to genetic factors or external environmental alterations. Metabolomics uses small molecules in cells to construct fingerprints unique to individuals. Small molecule metabolites have an important role in biological systems as key indicators that can help resolve cellular phenotypes. Cells are widely used in disease research to understand the molecular mechanisms of disease onset, progression and resistance to therapy. The application of cells is more controlled and easier to interpret than animal models and human experiments.

The energetic behavior of biochemical pathways in a robust cellular metabolic network can be controlled by a highly interconnected regulatory system. Metabolomics can identify specific metabolite biomarkers, distinguish between normal and abnormal states, and responses to drugs or stress factors. By analyzing the metabolic profile of the whole organism, it provides relevant information about specific cell types under different conditions, helping to understand cellular properties and functions more fully.

Cellular metabolomics has been used in the identification of toxicological markers, the elucidation of drug mechanisms, the detection of cell culture differentiation, and in the study of food histology. Creative Proteomics provides cellular metabolomics solutions to identify endogenous small molecules and reveal the connections between the different pathways operating in a living cell to help companies and researchers accelerate scientific discovery.
