In cells, straight chain fatty acids play important biological roles. They have a variety functions, including being incorporated into membrane for membrane proliferation, energy storage, generation of signaling molecules, or oxidized to carbon dioxide as energy source. The levels of straight chain fatty acids are sensitive to metabolic perturbations, therefore, they can be served as good markers for many health conditions and diseases. So far, the profiling of straight chain fatty acid has lead to the discovery of many disease markers, including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and many other diseases.

Creative Proteomics provides comprehensive straight chain fatty acids analysis services from lipid extraction, lipid detection and data analysis for biomedical research institutions, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.

Our Straight Chain Fatty Acids Analysis Service

Absolute quantification: Use external standard method to quantify, and use internal standard for correction, qualitative and quantitative is more accurate.

High sensitivity: we use liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometers for straight chain fatty acids analysis service (Triple Quad™ 6500 LC-MS/MS System).
