Non-Targeted Metabolomics

Non-targeted metabolomics is a hypothesis-free approach that aims to capture as many metabolites as possible in a single analysis.

Introduction

It´s all in your data…

Non-Targeted Metabolomics

Non-targeted metabolomics aims for a quick and reliable identification of small molecule biomarkers characteristic for a particular physiological state in response to internal or external perturbations.

Maximum coverage and elucidation of the metabolome’s chemical space can be achieved by utilizing Bruker’s high performanceLC-MS,GC-MS, andNMRsystems in conjunction with dedicated software for data evaluation.

The unique hyphenation of high resolution MS and NMR, the MetabolicProfiler™, enables rapid biomarker detection and identification by combined statistical evaluation of MS and NMR data.

Compound Identification

进行非靶向代谢组学的研究人员通常将未知代谢物的鉴定定义为主要挑战。Bruker将准确的质量MS信息和NMR的结构解决力与针对De-Novo识别的软件解决方案结合在一起,提供了独特的解决方案来应对这一挑战。

NMRand MS provide complementary data

  • MS provides the correct elemental composition
  • NMRdata enables de-novo structure elucidation
  • The correct elemental composition facilitates and speeds up unknown identification in NMR
  • NMRcan be used to analyze structural isomers of a compound and validate LC-MS results

Mass Spectrometry

  • SmartFormula3D: unique molecular formula generation capabilities through combining accurate mass and isotopic pattern information in MS and MS/MS spectra
  • CompoundCrawler: query correct molecular formula in databases like ChemSpider, Metlin or KEGG
  • FragmentExplorer: provides an interactive link between SmartFormula 3D results, mass spectra and molecular structures. This integrated tool is based on well-known ChemDrawTMtechnology for chemical structures, and was especially designed for faster interpretation of MS/MS data.
  • GC-APCI Source: ID unknowns in GC-MS based workflows
NMRStructure Elucidation Tools:
  • Enabling simple and efficient molecule structure elucidation following separation of mixtures
  • Automates many analysis and interpretation steps
  • Enables accomplished researches and beginners to expedite the elucidation of unknown substances
  • Amix包含所有必要的工具来建立自己的光谱基础或使用Bruker的商业光谱基础

MetaboScape

Non-Targeted Metabolomics

MetaboScape®

MetaboScape®is a comprehensive software package for non-targeted LC-MS & MALDI Imaging data designed to maximise the detection and annotation of more compounds. Applying the T-ReX®(Time aligned Region Complete eXtraction) algorithm automatically extracts all relevant peaks and combines ions belonging to the same compound into one feature, i.e. isotopes, charge states, adducts or fragments. Retention time alignment ensures data consistency even if chromatographic shifts between LC-MS runs occur. Combiningg complementary information acquired in positive and negative ionization modes generates deeper insights into a broader range of compound classes within your sample.

Automatic and confident identification of compounds

Trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) separates metabolites based on their shape, producing cleaner MS/MS spectra and allowing the use of CCS values to add confidence to the 4D-MetabolomicsTM and 4D-LipidomicsTM annotation – in addition to retention time, precursor mass, isotopic pattern and MS/MS spectrum.

Annotation of unknowns is facilitated using a number of tools:
  • 库匹配全面Bruk填充er libraries, such as the Metlin derived MetaboBASE® (link to spectral page), containing >100,000 compounds measured on QTOF instruments and >250,000 additional in silico compounds
  • 自动分子配方(SmartFormula)
  • Structural assignment through public database queries
  • in-silico fragmentation of structure candidates using MetFrag

Set your results into biological context

使用代谢途径在代谢途径图上鉴定的代谢产物的映射®connects experimental data to biology. This can lead to a validated research question, or to formulating a novel hypothesis.
