Overview
biocrates provides quantitative metabolomics kits and services for targeted profiling of lipids and small molecules in biological samples, enabling pharma and life sciences researchers to quantify hundreds to over 1,800 biomarkers from minimal volumes like 10-40 µL of serum, plasma, urine, or feces. Kits such as MxP Quant 500, 500 XL, and 1000 offer reproducible, high-throughput analysis in 96-well format, supported by WebIDQ software for automated workflows, quality controls, and pathway insights via sums and ratios. With over 20 years of experience, their standardized technology is used by pharma, CROs, and core facilities worldwide for R&D in metabolism, microbiome, and clinical research.
