Fatty acids

Precision lipidomics for metabolic and nutritional profiling

This panel focuses on fatty acid metabolism and nutritional status by providing quantitative analysis of 26 free fatty acids starting from C10:0 till C24:1. It is designed for researchers requiring high-precision data on lipid signaling, energy homeostasis, and dietary biomarkers.

Comprehensive metabolic coverage

Our fatty acid profiling is optimized for the detection of both saturated and unsaturated long-chain fatty acids, ensuring reliable results across various biological contexts.

Key features of our service

  • Quantitative Depth: Absolute quantification of 26 distinct free fatty acids.

  • Broad Spectrum: Covers a wide range from C10:0 (Capric acid) to C24:1 (Nervonic acid).

  • Lipid Biomarkers: Essential for studying inflammation, cardiovascular health, and metabolic disorders.
