QC Kits
Quality control (QC) of methods and systems is necessary toward the generation of reliable mass spectrometry (MS) data. To help obtain accurate and precise metabolomic data that can be reproduced by independent laboratories with different MS technologies, standardized protocols and reagents are ultimately necessary. To that end, we are pleased to offer a metabolomics QC kit.
The metabolomics QC kit – MSK-QC-KIT – is comprised of two vials of 14 stable isotope-labelled standards. Procedurally, these vials are to be mixed prior to use as workflow QC standards in matrix-free and matrix-containing (e.g., human plasma) analysis. Such evaluations would involve the method (e.g., implemented at the beginning of a workflow, before and after extraction) and analytical platform, with metric tracking over time for performance accreditation. The potential use of this kit though extends beyond QC testing. It can also be used as spike-in standards for quantitation. In quantitation, an aliquot of the stock mix (diluted as necessary) could be spiked into a sample matrix for use in isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) applications.
Kit contents:
- Two vials of dried-down metabolite mixes.
- Document package (supplied via QR code). Package includes user manual, which contains example procedures and LC-MS methods for user reference.
