●Targeted Profiling Kits
Biocrates offers a broad portfolio of targeted profiling kits for quantitative metabolomics across multiple biological sample types. Product families such as the MxP® series, including the MxP® Quant 1000 kit, are designed to deliver broad metabolite coverage and robust quantitative performance for applications such as biomarker discovery, disease research, and drug development. Additional solutions such as the LxQuant kit, MxQuant kit, SMartIDQ® alpha kit, AbsoluteIDQ® p400 HR kit, and AbsoluteIDQ® p180 kit are developed for specific metabolite classes or analytical needs, giving researchers flexible options for precise and reproducible metabolomics studies.
●Pathway-Specific Kits
Biocrates also provides pathway-specific kits such as the AbsoluteIDQ® Bile Acids kit, which is designed for the analysis of bile acid-related metabolic pathways. This type of solution is particularly valuable for studies involving liver disease, gut microbiome–host interactions, and other research areas closely linked to bile acid metabolism, helping researchers investigate pathway-specific changes under physiological and pathological conditions.
●Software
Biocrates supports its metabolomics workflow with dedicated software tools for sample handling, quantification, validation, and biological interpretation.
☉WebIDQ™: WebIDQ™ is used for sample registration, plate layout creation, metabolite quantification, technical validation, and result formatting. It also includes tools for data normalization and downstream analysis, and exported results can be further processed in external platforms such as MetaboAnalyst or in R-based workflows.
☉MetaboINDICATOR™: MetaboINDICATOR™ is designed to support deeper analysis and interpretation of metabolomics data by calculating biologically meaningful metabolite sums and ratios. It helps researchers extract pathway-relevant information from targeted metabolomic and lipidomic datasets and identify metabolite patterns associated with disease or physiological states.
☉Quantitative Metabolomics Database (QMDB): QMDB provides quantitative reference data and metabolite-related information to support data comparison, metabolite interpretation, and result contextualization in metabolomics studies. By combining sample metadata with quantitative reference ranges generated through standardized Biocrates technology, it helps researchers better understand normal metabolite distributions and improve the interpretation of experimental findings.
