About Stratum Corneum
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 lipids play in skin disorders, and we’ve established best-in-class expertise for their detection. This panel focuses on specific lipids and their metabolic pathways and can be used to track biomarkers and enhance biological understanding across clinical research.
