New Metabolomics Service Launch – Introductory Seminar

Topic: Stable Isotope based Metabolic Flux Analysis Using High-Resolution Accurate Mass Spectrometer

Date: 17 Oct 2023 (Tuesday)

Time: 3:00 – 4:00 pm

Venue: Seminar Room 1A, G/F, HKJCB, 5 Sassoon Road

Seminar overview

Metabolic flux analysis, a significant cell physiology experiment, studies metabolite flow within biological systems to understand cellular metabolism and regulation. The stable-isotope tracing technique, primarily using a 13C-tracer, is a popular MS-based metabolomics method. Other tracers like 15N- or 2H- are also employed based on experimental goals.

We are delighted to introduce a NEW metabolomics service on metabolic flux analysis using Vanquish UHPLC system (LC) coupled to a high-resolution accurate mass spectrometer (HRAM) Orbitrap Exploris 120 MS, which can detect the above-mentioned isotopes from selected metabolic pathways.

Come attend the introductory seminar to hear from our service scientist about the new service, the latest updates and much more.
