Amino Acid and Energy Metabolism

Precision Metabolomics Services


Amino acids and energy metabolites reveal the biochemical foundation of metabolism. By quantifying amino acids, acylcarnitines, and TCA cycle intermediates, we uncover key insights into mitochondrial function, nutrient utilization, and metabolic balance. At Biogenity, we provide targeted metabolomics workflows designed to deliver high-quality, reproducible data ready for research and publication.

Amino acids, acylcarnitines, and organic acids are central intermediates of energy metabolism, protein turnover, and cellular regulation. Their concentrations reflect mitochondrial function, nutrient utilization, and the dynamic balance between anabolic and catabolic pathways.

This analysis group quantifies a broad range of metabolites across these pathways — including amino acids, acylcarnitines, TCA cycle intermediates, and related compounds. Together, these profiles provide deep insights into metabolic health, bioenergetics, and adaptive responses across human, animal, microbial, and plant systems.

The Amino Acid and Energy Metabolism analysis supports studies in nutrition, metabolism, microbiome interactions, and systems biology. It can be extended through combination with lipid, bile acid, or short-chain fatty acid panels for comprehensive pathway coverage and integrated metabolic interpretation.

Sample preparation and sample analysis

Sample preparation of amino acids

Metabolites involved in amino acid and energy metabolism are highly sensitive to degradation and matrix effects. We apply validated Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure reliable extraction and stabilization across diverse sample types.

Supported matrices include

  • Biological fluids: plasma, serum, urine, saliva, cerebrospinal fluid, sweat
  • Cells and tissues: cell cultures, tissue biopsies, microbial and plant extracts
  • Specialized matrices: feces/gut content, food and feed, cell media, supernatants
  • Model systems: animal models, clinical and nutritional studies

All procedures are designed to preserve metabolite integrity and ensure quantitative, reproducible data.

Targeted panels for detailed metabolic profiling

This platform integrates several targeted panels to capture a complete picture of amino acid and energy metabolism. Analyses are performed using high-resolution LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS systems, offering exceptional sensitivity, accuracy, and reproducibility


Our amino acid metabolism panels
