Metabolomics is an important part of systems biology and a rapidly developing discipline after genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics, which studies the types and quantities of endogenous metabolites in organisms and their changes under the action of internal and external factors. Plant metabolites are the expression of the physiological state of plant organisms at the metabolic level. Any perturbation of the plant body by internal or external factors such as growth and development and environmental factors will cause changes in the concentration or metabolic flow of plant metabolites, and in most cases, these changes are not in one or a few metabolites, but in multiple metabolites or even multiple metabolic pathways. Because metabolomics detects changes in metabolites as a whole, it is increasingly used in plant biology and related fields.

What We Offer

The analysis and identification of all metabolites in an acquired sample is a key step in metabolomics research and is the most difficult and variable step. Lifeasible typically selects the most appropriate analytical method based on the characteristics of the sample provided by the client and the purpose of the experiment. Commonly used analytical tools for separation include GC/MS, LC/MS, NMR, and FTIR/MS. After a systematic study of all metabolites in a metabolic pathway, Lifeasible offers the next step of characterizing the metabolic pathway. Based on the identification of a series of substrates, products, intermediates and key enzymes of this pathway, the regulatory mechanism and key regulatory sites of this metabolic pathway will be elucidated.

We Do Better

• We continue to develop more broad-spectrum, in situ, immediate, and general-purpose assays based on existing stand-alone analytical platforms.
• We have established a new plant metabolome analysis platform that enables the parallel analysis and data integration of multiple analysis platforms to achieve unbiased, sensitive, and high-throughput analysis of metabolites in plant samples.
• We develop accurate and efficient tools for plant metabolite identification or annotation.
• We provide services to integrate metabolomics with other histological data (genome, transcriptome, proteome, phenome, etc.).
