UNxTARGET panel
Targeted + untargeted metabolomics analysis
This panel combines the quantitative power of the TARGET metabolite panel with untargeted metabolomics screening, enabling researchers to both precisely measure known metabolites and explore unexpected metabolic changes. By leveraging the same LC-MS dataset, we extract additional metabolite features beyond the targeted panel, providing a broader and more exploratory view of cellular metabolism.
Discovery-driven metabolic profiling beyond targeted analysis
UNxTARGET panel maximizes the information obtained from each sample by integrating targeted quantification with untargeted feature discovery, helping researchers identify novel metabolic patterns, unknown metabolites, and emerging biomarkers.
Key features of our service
Dual analysis approach: Combines quantitative targeted metabolomics with untargeted metabolite discovery.
Extended metabolic coverage: Provides information on up to ~400 additional metabolic features beyond the targeted panel.
Hypothesis generation: Ideal for identifying unexpected metabolic shifts and discovering potential new biomarkers.

Metabolic Coverage
This panel includes all metabolites covered in our Extended metabolite panel (TARGET) plus approximately 400 additional metabolic features specific to each individual study.
Since untargeted metabolomics is designed for global discovery, the identified features vary depending on the unique biological context of your project, allowing for the detection of unexpected metabolic shifts and novel biomarkers.
Custom Method Development
