LC/MS/MS Method Package for Lipid Mediators

Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of persistent and harmful chemicals that can be commonly found in the environment globally. These anthropogenic chemicals can come from various sources such as manufacturing, industrial applications, food contact materials and consumer products, and eventually end up and accumulate in the water, soil and living organisms.

The Shimadzu LCMS-2050 High-Performance Liquid Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer and the AA-7800 series of atomic absorption spectrophotometers have received the Red Dot Design Award 2023.

The Multi-omics Analysis Package is metabolic engineering software that can automatically generate metabolic maps and perform a variety of data analysis based on the vast amounts of mass spectrometry data generated in fields such as metabolomics, proteomics, and flux analysis.

The LC/MS/MS method package for steroid hormones contains LC/MS/MS analytical methods with optimized analytical conditions and MS parameters for analyzing 20 kinds of steroid hormones and corrective substances. The package enables comprehensive analysis of steroid hormones ranging from adrenocortical hormones, such as mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid, to sex hormones, such as androgens, estrogens, and progestogens.

Biomarkers are derived from living organisms and found in tissues, blood, and other bodily fluids. Biomarkers are indicators of biological changes in an organism and are used to diagnose disease, in prognosis, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pharmaceuticals. Biomarkers can be nucleic acids, proteins, peptides, lipids, and sugars, and are identified using various “omics” techniques.
