OMICS Education Session – 1:30 – 4:30 pm
Metabolomics is the study of the complement of metabolites, lipids or other small molecule chemical species that are the result of specific cellular processes within a cell, tissue, organ, or organism. The metabolome changes constantly and is also affected by drugs, environmental chemicals, foods and beverages to which we are exposed. Thus, metabolomics and lipidomics studies can allow a more comprehensive view of a biological system by highlighting dynamic changes of important small molecules and by-products. AB SCIEX offers two powerful approaches to metabolomics with unique instrumentation and software solutions: non-targeted analysis with the TripleTOF™ systems and targeted metabolite quantitation with QTRAP® systems. These strategies will be discussed in biological experimentation and context.
