Benefits of our Bioanalysis Services
- Comprehensive metabolic insights: Quantification of SCFAs, LCFAs, and bile acids provides a holistic view of gut metabolism, offering insights into microbial activity, host energy metabolism, and digestive processes.
- High sensitivity and accuracy: Our advanced analytical techniques offer highly sensitive and specific quantification of these metabolites at low concentrations.
- Support for health research: Accurate quantification aids in understanding the role of these metabolites in various health conditions, including metabolic disorders, gut health, and neurological functions.
- Evaluation of dietary interventions: Allows researchers to assess the impact of dietary changes or probiotic supplementation on the production of SCFAs and other metabolites.
- Biomarker identification: Quantification of these metabolites can help identify potential biomarkers for various health conditions or treatment efficacy.
- Product development support: Assists in the development and quality control of functional foods, supplements, or pharmaceuticals targeting gut health or metabolic disorders.
Bioanalysis Services: SCFA, LCFA, and Bile Acid Testing
At QIB Extra, we provide advanced bioanalysis services designed to support your research and product development goals. Our state-of-the-art facilities and expertise enable us to offer precise and reliable analysis of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs), and bile acids, delivering actionable insights into their roles in health and disease.
Metabolic Fatty Acid analysis
Metabolic acids are organic acids produced or involved in various metabolic processes within the body. They play crucial roles in energy production, nutrient metabolism, and maintaining the body's acid-base balance. Metabolic acids can be byproducts of metabolism or intermediates in metabolic pathways, and they include several important groups:
SCFA Analysis:
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), produced by gut microbiota during the fermentation of dietary fibers, are key indicators of gut health. We offer detailed analysis of SCFAs like acetate, propionate, and butyrate, helping you understand their impact on digestive health, inflammation, and metabolic regulation.
- Application: Whole grains, Legumes, Yogurt, Sauerkraut, Broccoli
LCFA Analysis:
Long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) are essential components of cell membranes and energy metabolism. Our LCFA analysis provides insights into the composition and levels of these fats in your samples, which can inform research on cardiovascular health, obesity, and metabolic disorders.
- Application: Olive oil, Walnuts, Salmon, Beef, Butter
Bile Acid Profiling:
Bile acids are crucial for fat digestion and have emerging roles in metabolic regulation and gut health. Our bile acid profiling service covers both primary and secondary bile acids, aiding in studies related to liver function, gut microbiome interactions, and metabolic diseases.
- Application: Avocados, Fatty fish, Eggs, Liver, Full-fat milk
