OUR VISION

For the first time, customers can analyze large sample amounts to develop new products in nutritional, medical and industrial markets. We envision Shotgun Lipidomics as a tool for basic research, development of functional food and for routine clinical diagnostics focused on personalized health care approaches.

What is Lipidomics?Lipidomics is the large-scale investigation of amounts, structures and functions of complete set of lipids (the lipidome) in biological systems, such as cells, body fluids or whole organisms. Lipidomics includes also interaction between lipids, as well as their interaction with proteins and other metabolites. Modern lipidomics supplies a fully quantitative description of lipidomes down to the level of individual lipid molecules.

Lipidomics provides together with e.g. proteomics and genomics the »omics« foundation for advanced system biology.
