Products, partnerships, investments - what’s going on in the analytical science business world.

From astronaut metabolomics to protein purification, separation science is everywhere.

We speak with scientists using analytical techniques to solve some of the art world's mysteries

The convergence of forensic and metabolomic analysis – and its potential for diagnostics

Tom Metz, Integrative Omics Scientist and Metabolomics Technical Lead at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (Washington State, USA), selects six papers that exemplify the power of multi-omics.

Cancer is incredibly complex, posing enormous challenges beyond the biological field. Taking a multi-omic approach can help us make sense of this diverse set of diseases – and, ultimately, allow us to better understand ourselves as human beings.

Sitting Down With... Jessica Prenni, Director of Research Core Facilities, Director of Proteomics & Metabolomics Facility, Colorado State University, USA.

The pursuit of the metabolome may no longer be a novel field, but it remains the biggest analytical challenge.

Though a recent paper about the data-distorting potential of gas chromatography in metabolomic studies is far from perfect, it does at least draw attention to the absolute criticality of robust experiment design – on both sides of the argument. And that’s got to be a good thing.
