The service spans 30+ mature panels—amino acids, bile acids, fatty acids, glucose metabolism, neurotransmitters, vitamins, hormones and more—with on-demand customization, making it the standard solution for mechanism research, biomarker validation and large-cohort quantification. 30+ mature targeted panels READY-MADE PANELS MRM Isotope-IS Absolute Quantification ABSOLUTE QUANTIFICATION 1–3 weeks standard turnaround for mature panels STANDARD TURNAROUND ## Service List SERVICE LIST ### Glucose Metabolism Panel Glucose Metabolism Panel ### Bile Acids Panel Bile Acids Panel ### SCFA & MCFA Panel SCFA & MCFA Panel ### Oxylipins Panel Oxylipins Panel ### Acylcarnitines Panel Acylcarnitines Panel ### Nucleotides Panel Nucleotides Panel ### Amino Acids Panel Amino Acids Panel ### Neurotransmitters Panel Neurotransmitters Panel ### Coenzymes Panel Coenzymes Panel ### Vitamins Panel Vitamins Panel ### Folate Metabolism Panel Folate Metabolism Panel ### Organic Acids Panel Organic Acids Panel ### Environmental Hormones Panel Environmental Hormones Panel ### PFAS Panel PFAS Panel ### TMAO Metabolism Panel TMAO Metabolism Panel ### Energy Metabolism Panel Energy Metabolism Panel ### Steroid Hormones Panel Steroid Hormones Panel ### Plant Hormones Panel Plant Hormones Panel ### Biogenic Amines Panel Biogenic Amines Panel ### Anthocyanins Panel Anthocyanins Panel ### Catechins Panel Catechins Panel ### Polyphenols Panel Polyphenols Panel ### Phenolic Acids Panel Phenolic Acids Panel ### Carotenoids Panel Carotenoids Panel ### Redox Metabolites Panel Redox Metabolites Panel ### Acyl-CoA Panel Acyl-CoA Panel ### Alkaloids Panel Alkaloids Panel ### Flavonoids Panel Flavonoids Panel ### Sugars Panel Sugars Panel ### Nucleosides Panel Nucleosides Panel ### Custom Targeted Panels Custom Targeted Panels ## Technical Specifications TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | Platform | Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) and GC-MS | | --- | --- | | Quantification | Isotope-internal-standard calibration + standard-curve absolute quantification | | Quantification Unit | Absolute concentration units such as ng/mL and ng/g | | QC | Pooled QC samples inserted across the batch to monitor signal drift and stability | ## Sample Requirements SAMPLE REQUIREMENTS Serum / Plasma 50 μL Tissue 30 mg Cells 1–5 × 10⁶ cells Feces / Gut Content 100 mg fresh / 20 mg lyophilized Urine 50 μL Exosomes 50 μL Replicates: ≥6 per group for cell / microbial samples; ≥10 per group for animal samples; ≥50 per group for clinical samples with strictly controlled inclusion criteria.

Mature targeted panels typically take 1-3 weeks; untargeted projects take 2-4 weeks (counted from sample receipt and QC approval). The exact timeline is confirmed in writing before project start, and progress is trackable on the OmicsHub cloud platform. What if my sample amount is below the recommendation? Please do not dilute your samples. Low-input samples can often be accommodated by adjusting the preparation workflow — tell us the actual amount and our technical team will assess feasibility and note adjustments in the study plan. Can I add targets to an existing panel? Yes. Mature panels support on-demand additions; novel analytes outside the list can be implemented through custom method development (requires standards and extra validation time) — see our Custom Targeted Metabolomics service. What samples do you need for Targeted Metabolomics? Serum/plasma ≥100 μL (fasting, no haemolysis), tissue ≥50 mg (snap-frozen), cells ≥1×10⁶ (medium washed off), urine ≥200 μL. Keep fasting time consistent, aliquot into single-use volumes and avoid freeze–thaw.
