Insect Widely-Targeted Metabolomics

Widely targeted metabolomics is a novel approach that combines the advantages of targeted and untargeted metabolomics. It can be used to compare the types and abundance of metabolites between different samples, identify metabolites with significant biological significance that differ significantly between groups, and qualitatively and quantitatively detect low-abundance metabolites.

Lifeasible is committed to providing comprehensive insect research services. Our service is designed to study small-molecule metabolites within insects and how these metabolites influence insect physiological activities. Our widely targeted metabolomics of insects integrates the advantages of non-targeted and targeted metabolite detection technologies, utilizing advanced technical platforms to achieve high-throughput, high-sensitivity, wide coverage, and accurate qualitative metabolite detection.

What Can We Offer?

Our comprehensive targeted lipidomics technology combines the dual advantages of non-targeted lipids' "high throughput" and targeted lipids' "stable accuracy," enabling the comprehensive detection of multiple metabolites in insect samples. This provides robust data support for insect physiology research, insect-plant interactions, environmental adaptation, and developmental mechanism studies.
