Method
We offer a validated metabolomics platform that provides comprehensive information on canine metabolism. The blood testing method is optimized for dogs and is based on the well-established metabolomics method NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy. The measurement procedure provides vast spectral data, which is transformed into quantitative metabolite concentrations, which can be again used to detect systemic metabolic changes.
Metabolites
The targeted, quantitative metabolomics platform quantifies over 100 different metabolite measurands from a single 100 µl serum or plasma sample in one measurement. The platform covers a wide range of different compounds from multiple molecular groups, including amino acids, fatty acids, lipoproteins, cholesterols, triglycerides, glycolysis-related measurands, fluid balance –related measurands, and the inflammatory marker glycoprotein acetyls.
Scientific publications
The science-based blood analysis platform provides a comprehensive, accurate and reliable solution for metabolomics research of dogs, for example, to determine the metabolic effects of diseases, medications, and lifestyles.
