Short-Chain Fatty Acid Panel
The Short-Chain Fatty Acid Panel is designed to support studies of the gut microbiome, focusing on this particular class of metabolites.
Absolute quantitation of Acetic acid, Propionic acid, Butyric acid, Isobutyric acid, Valeric acid, 2-Methyl-butyric acid, and Caproic acid (Hexanoic acid)
Precision – Calibrator and Quality Control sample precision (% CV) typically <10%
Small amount of sample required, typically 100 -200 µl plasma/serum or 100 mg fecal samples
Fast turnaround time, typically 3-4 weeks for most projects
Key Advantage – Reproducible Results
Fully quantitative LC-MS/MS method with minimum of 6 to 8 calibrators per metabolite
Wide range of sample matrices
Proprietary technology facilitates low level quantitation in plasma/serum samples
Matching stable labelled internal standards for each analyte
Analyte panel customizable with additional metabolites such as lactate and other organic acids
Calibrator and quality control sample precision (% CV) typically <10%
Applications
Providing novel insights on how microbiome impacts host’s disease and health status in clinical or experimental studies
Evaluating the changes of the host microbiome through dietary, nutraceutical, prebiotics, probiotics, and biopharmaceutical intervention
- Assessing the homeostasis of gut health wellness
