Urine contains a wide variety of chemical species, including microbial metabolites and mammalian metabolites. Drugs, pollutants, and industrial chemicals may also be present in urine. Since urine does not have a homeostatic regulatory function, as waste, it can reflect metabolic disorders and provide a broad range of systemic changes in response to physiological challenges or disease progression.
In metabolomics research, urine is a key biological matrix because its collection is non-invasive (and thus easier). Although it depends on the animal and the collection time, urine samples are almost unlimited in volume. Moreover, urine is easy to process into samples through a series of operations, allowing for the study of temporary metabolic changes. The compounds in urine are more diverse than those in other matrices, making data analysis and biological interpretation in urine metabolomics more challenging.
BiotechPack provides one-stop services for urine metabolomics. You only need to specify your experimental objectives and send your samples to us, and we will handle all subsequent experiments. BiotechPack has established a platform for urine metabolomics research using Thermo's Q Exactive and AB's Q TOF 5600 mass spectrometers, employing different sample processing schemes according to your experimental objectives to efficiently extract metabolites for analysis. This not only effectively answers your biological questions but also improves the identification and quantification of metabolites in terms of number and accuracy.

About Samples
Sample Storage
1ml per sample; ideally, a bit more (urine is directly aliquoted into centrifuge tubes, 1ml per tube, add one drop (about 10ul) of sodium azide solution with a mass/volume ratio of 1/100 (w/v), store at -80℃ and send)
Sample Pretreatment
After sampling, you can either pre-treat the samples yourself or entrust us to do it. Please feel free to contact us.
