Metabolomics Analysis Service for Algae
Metabolome refers to the full set of small molecule metabolites found within a biological sample and allows a better description of all physiological activities in the cell body.
As a pioneer in algae research, Lifeasible has the professional equipment and experienced teams to provide quality metabolomics analysis services for algae to our customers worldwide.
Introduction to Metabolome
Metabolites are the end products of cellular regulatory processes, and their levels can be seen as the ultimate response of a biological system to genetic or environmental changes. The metabolome includes metabolic intermediates, hormones, and signaling molecules, as well as secondary metabolites. Metabolomics is an emerging field that contributes significantly to the latest insights in systems biology as it captures the direct biological information generated by genomic and transcriptomic activities.
Applications of Metabolomics Analysis in Algae
Since the levels of various metabolites present in cells can cover several concentration levels, this makes it technically impossible to analyze all metabolites of an organism in a single analysis. Therefore, metabolite target analysis is mainly limited to one or a few metabolites associated with a specific metabolic reaction. The metabolomics analysis focuses on screening and elucidating the function of metabolic pathways by identifying and quantifying a selected number of predefined metabolites through metabolite analysis methods.

| Algae, both macroscopic and microscopic, are very rich in biological and chemical diversity. To date, most metabolic analyses have focused on quantifying and identifying secondary metabolites in different algae with economically valuable applications in areas such as food science, the pharmaceutical industry, and public health. | By tracking changes in low molecular weight metabolites involved in different biological responses under different environmental stimuli and stresses, metabolomics is well suited to study organism-environment interactions and helps to integrate information on metabolic pathway perturbations with physiological responses to stressors. |
Our Services
Metabolomics analysis can unravel the metabolic response of algae to environmental stimuli or stressors, as well as the potential of different algae to produce economically valuable metabolites. With many years of experience, Lifeasible is capable of undertaking targeted and non-targeted metabolomics analyses of various algae.
Multiple Analytical Platforms
We have a variety of analytical platforms for metabolomics, including various nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS) methods, such as MS with gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), or capillary electrophoresis (CE). Different analytical platforms have different characteristics.
NMR - Although NMR analysis yields accurate structural information, it requires larger sample volumes and higher concentrations for quantification compared to MS-based methods.
MS - With MS, a small amount of sample is sufficient to obtain a comprehensive metabolite analysis, but sample preparation usually includes an extraction step.
Standard Workflow
As an experienced company in algal metabolomics analysis, we have established standard experimental and analytical procedures and are able to provide standardized services for various algae to obtain reliable data.
