About Short Chain Fatty Acids
Metabolomics reveals biological insights otherwise unseen. For a successful metabolomics study, both small molecule discovery and the ability to dig deeper into specific biomarkers of interest are needed to uncover actionable insights that propel new therapeutic developments. A specific combination of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technology and expertise is required to identify these biomarkers of interest and develop assays that are sensitive enough to explore them fully.
At Metabolon, we understand the crucial role SFCAs play in gastrointestinal disorders, and we’ve established best-in-class expertise. This panel focuses on specific SFCAs and their metabolic pathways and can be used to track biomarkers and enhance biological understanding across preclinical and clinical research.

bAssays with this sample type are for non-GxP testing and are not for diagnostic use.
cGood Clinical Practice (GCP) Assays. Lower Limit of Quantitation (LLOQ) stated is based on normalization using an average dry weight of feces. The actual measurement of the assay is the concentration of analyte in the OMNImet™·GUT tube containing human feces. Analyte concentrations in the OMNImet™·GUT tubes will be normalized by measured dry weight of feces unless otherwise requested.
dAvailable in select sample types only.
Analysis Method and Instrumentation:
