Biomarker & Metabolite Standards
Biomarkers are biological molecules found in blood, body fluids, or tissues that act as measurable indicators of biological processes or conditions. Based on their purpose in a biological process or a therapeutic response, biomarkers are primarily classified into susceptibility/risk biomarkers, diagnostic biomarkers, monitoring biomarkers, prognostic biomarkers, predictive biomarkers, pharmacodynamic biomarkers, and safety biomarkers.
Metabolites, including amino acids, lipids, peptides, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, are small molecules produced as intermediates or end products of metabolic reactions, and the study of these molecules within cells, tissues, organs, and biofluids is known as metabolomics. Metabolites are classified as primary or secondary, endogenous or exogenous, based on their roles in physiological processes, disease states, and their origins within or outside the body.
Metabolite and biomarker standards are indispensable tools in clinical and diagnostic testing, as they provide essential insights into the metabolic state and disease progression, enabling precise diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized treatment strategies. To achieve this, the use of high-quality metabolite and biomarker references is crucial, as they ensure the accuracy, consistency, and reproducibility of test results, thereby enhancing the reliability of clinical decisions and research outcomes.
We offer a broad range of metabolite and biomarker reference materials tailored for mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and biomarker testing. The metabolite standards are suitable for use in all kinds of metabolite testing, including metabolic panel testing, basic metabolic panel testing, newborn screening tests, and inborn errors of metabolism screening tests. Our biomarker reference materials also support different biomarker testing methods and biomarker tests, such as biomarker testing for alcohol, biomarker testing for athletes, inflammatory biomarkers test, and biomarker test for cancer among others.
Our products support a variety of applications, including metabolic profiling, clinical and diagnostic testing, target analysis for novel biomarker identification, pharmaceutical research, and endocrinology. Our collection includes clinically significant endogenous compounds, such as Seraseq® Oncology and NIPT products for genomics, as well as key metabolites like amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates, bile acids, vitamin D, catecholamines, neurotransmitters, and hormones related to male, female, neonatal, and thyroid health.
