A major challenge in metabolomics analysis is the accurate quantification of metabolites in the presence of (extremely) high abundant metabolites. Quantification of metabolites at low concentrations can be complicated by co-elution and/or peak distortion when these metabolites elute close to high abundant metabolites. To increase the separation efficiency a comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method (GC x GC-MS) was set up, in which a polar first dimension column and an apolar second dimension column were used to maximize the peak capacity.

Quantitative profiling

Type of theme: 
Core
Short description: 
The aim of Quantitative Profiling is to develop a generation of metabolomics platforms inspired by biology and driven by technological opportunities. Platforms for phosphopeptide, oxy-lipid and isoprostane analysis have been developed and validated and are being applied to urgent biological questions related to chronic inflammatory disorders, regulation of life span and oxidative stress.

The aim of the NMC Quantitative Profiling (QP) Theme is to develop a new generation of metabolomics platforms inspired by biology and driven by technological opportunities. Two groups of projects can be distinguished:
