Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for identifying metabolic pathways and metabolites in complex biological samples. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus to increase the confidence of metabolite identification in metabolomics, such as in untargeted metabolomics data, using various statistical tools, such as over representation and enrichment analysis.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for determining the effects of radiation exposure on a subject. In particular, the present disclosure relates to the use of surface desorption ionization mass spectrometry methods and apparatus to determine and quantify radiation exposure effects. The method and apparatus can determine the maximum radiation exposure of a subject, can monitor in real-time the radiation exposure and radio sensitivity of a subject, can allow for the preparation of personalized treatment against radiation exposure, and can reduce the incidence of secondary cancer.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to structural elucidation of isotopically labeled analytes using chromatography-MS and data-independent acquisition. The present disclosure can be used for rapid screening of analytes, such as the metabolome, including the simultaneous collection of both qualitative and quantitative information of known and unknown analytes.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method for using chemical tags which have two or more sites for ionization to improve quantification and identification of components of interest from a complex mixture. This method relies on first selectively reacting one or more component in a sample with a chemical tag having two or more sites for ionization, followed by separation of components based on charge status, and finally characterization of each component to identify the same. Additionally disclosed are compounds useful as chemical tags in the disclosed methods.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to methods and apparatus for determining essential nutrients and the ratio of essential nutrients in a sample. In particular, the present disclosure relates to the use of surface desorption ionization-mass spectrometry methods and apparatus to assay essential nutrients and ratios thereof, e.g., omega-6/omega-3 ratios.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to methods for determining chemical class compositions present in a sample using collision cross-section fragment ion values.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to metabolomics and lipidomics, and to the analysis of metabolite and lipids in simple and complex mixtures. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a mass spectrometry system using data independent acquisition and having quadrupole and ion mobility separation capabilities for the identification and quantification of metabolites and lipids. In some embodiments, an optional chromatographic separation can also be included.
