Targeted profiling and quantitation solutions
Identified biomarkers from either untargeted metabolomics experiments, or hypothesis-driven from the literature, can be verified or validated where usually a limited number of compounds are quantified in a large set of samples.
For highest selectivity and confirmation, HRAM Orbitrap mass spectrometry is the technology of choice for verification of putative biomarkers. Moving through to high-throughput quantitation, SRM analysis on the TSQ triple quadrupole mass spectrometers is the solution of choice.

Standardized and quantitative HRAM LC-MS metabolomics workflow
Targeted metabolomics offers researchers the possibility to quantify selected metabolites. The AbsoluteIDQ® p400 HR Kit is the first standardized solution for broad metabolic and lipid profiling developed for Thermo Scientific high-resolution, accurate mass (HRAM) Orbitrap MS. It covers hundreds of metabolites while providing quantification, reproducibility, and high throughput. The kit offers the opportunity to analyze various biological matrices from multiple species.
Sample preparation
Biocrates AbsoluteIDQ p400 HR Kit
- Ready-to-use kit developed for Q Exactive Focus LC-MS, Q Exactive LC-MS, Q Exactive Plus and Q Exactive HF LC-MS
- Delivering a standardized, quality-controlled and reproducible quantitative assay
- Provides excellent inter-laboratory reproducibility
- Allows quantitation of key metabolites relevant to pathophysiological processes and disease specific markers
First steps
Samples are registered in the MetIDQ™ software (integral part of the kit). The test mix is run to ensure suitable system conditions.
Loading
Samples and reagents are pipetted onto the kit plate
Derivatization
Amino acids and biogenic amines are derivatized to help ensure a reliable analysis.
Extraction
Metabolites are extracted with organic buffer and diluted in two steps for subsequent mass spectrometric analysis.
LC-MS and FIA-MS Analysis
Quantitative data for biological significance
Obtain valuable quantitative insights from small- to large-scale studies across a variety of applications from untargeted, semi-targeted to targeted metabolomics studies. With optimized methods, the Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Exploris 240 mass spectrometer delivers a fast turnaround of sample to results with operational simplicity. Best-in-class performance together with Thermo Scientific AcquireX intelligent data acquisition delivers a fast track to confident results, all within a compact footprint, so you can go beyond with everyday versatility.
