    Global metabolomics and integrative -omics (intOmics)

    Metabolomics provides screening of targeted (~650) and untargeted (~2500) metabolites. Options for more detailed analyses include volcano plots, pathway enrichment and KEGG network optimization data. Metabolomic data can be integrated with (user provided) RNAseq using a metabolomics network analysis platform (IntOmix), for an optimized pathway analysis of relationships between metabolites and enzyme transcripts.

    Cellular and mitochondrial respiration and bioenergetics

    Cellular and mitochondrial respiration are assessed with the Agilent Seahorse XF Pro. In a 96-well plate format, real-time measurements of cellular respiration, oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial leak, and mitochondrial transport are assessed as functional kinetic measurements of cellular bioenergetics. An integrated Agilent BioTek Cytation5 imager correlates cell number to respiration for more accurate normalization of respiration.
