FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 13, 2004. ESA, an international supplier of bio-analytical instrumentation, has developed the Metabolomics System, a powerful new advance utilising ESA's proven electrochemical (EC) technology, to simplify and increase the efficiency of metabolomics studies. Simplifying and increasing the efficiency of Metabolomics Studies .. ESA Inc., an international supplier of bio-analytical instrumentation, has developed the Metabolomics System, a powerful new advance utilising ESA's proven electrochemical (EC) technology, to simplify and increase the efficiency of metabolomics studies.
Metabolomics/metabonomics studies are typically performed with either NMR or mass spectrometers. This approach, while powerful, leads to the generation of an enormous amount of data to be analysed from complex multi-component metabolomics samples. Determining subtle changes in the biomarker levels and identifying low abundance components can also be a problem with these analytical methods. To address these challenges, ESA has applied its expertise in oxidation chemistry to develop the Metabolomics System as a complementary technique to an NMR or mass spectrometer to greatly enhance the capabilities of any metabolomics laboratory. The Metabolomics System analyses only those compounds, which are redox active. In addition, the system's unique sequential array design allows for easy segmentation of data from metabolomics samples into easily managed segments. Processing data quickly and efficiently, the Metabolomics' System also possesses the detection capability to monitor even low abundance markers. The Metabolomics System is the ideal complementary technique to NMR or MS for analysis of metabolomics samples. The system overcomes many of the shortcomings of other analytical techniques for these types of studies and provides important new capabilities in the emerging field of metabolomics.
