GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS are widely used for measuring the total amount of metabolites in a sample. Selection of the appropriate instrument to be used is based on the target components and the objective.

GC-MS

  • Permits comprehensive measurement of several hundred components in a single measurement
  • Standard measurement methods with excellent robustness
  • Low installation cost
  • First-choice comprehensive measurement

LC-MS

  • Simple measurement of specific metabolites (up to 100 components)
  • Quick measurement, including pretreatment
  • Measurement of high-molecular weight non-volatile metabolites is possible
  • Ideal for efficient routine measurement of specific components
