Non-target metabolome | Non-target metabolome (LC-MS) | Unbiased, high-throughput, high-resolution, primary and secondary full coverage. |
(relative quantification) | Non-target metabolome (GC-MS) | Suitable for analyzing volatile substances and small molecules with strong polarity such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, and amino groups. |
Non-target lipid group (LC-MS) | Fatty acyl, polyethylene, glycerolipid, sphingolipid, glycolipid and other 8 types of lipid substances. | |
Targeted metabolome (absolute quantification) | High-throughput targeted metabolome |
With the standard as a reference, it has the characteristics of strong specificity, high sensitivity and high accuracy. (Examples: plant hormones; flavonoids; carotenoids; carbohydrates; short-chain fatty acids; medium and long-chain fatty acids; energy metabolism; TMAO and related metabolites; neurotransmitters; amino acids; fat-soluble vitamins; water-soluble vitamins; bile acids; organic acids; phenolic acids; arachidonic acids; tannins; anthocyanins; animal hormones; antibiotics; metal ions, etc.). |
Extensive targeting of metabolome, | secondary metabolome | Flavonoids, terpenes, alkaloids and other substances. |
(relative quantification) | Primary metabolome | Amino acids and their derivatives, nucleotides and their derivatives, sugars and alcohols, lipids, organic acids and vitamins, etc. |
Extensive targeting of metabolome | Amino acids and their derivatives, nucleotides and their derivatives, sugars, fatty acids, flavonoids, phenolamines, alkaloids, etc. |
