1 METABOLOMICS Biomarker and Omics Solutions FOR METABOLOMICS

2 The metabolome consists of the entirety of small molecules consumed or created in the metabolic processes that sustain life. Metabolomics is the systematic study of these processes and the molecules involved. Complimentary to genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics, metabolomics can provide insights into cellular processes and the health and inner-workings of biological systems. At AB SCIEX, we develop tools to help you discover more in your metabolomics research. With innovative hardware, software, and workflows developed specifically for delving deeper into the metabolome, we help you further understand and generate new scientific hypotheses. Start with AB SCIEX, end with new discoveries. Intelligent workflows combined with powerful technology Our industry leading hardware and application-focused workflows deliver answers to your most pressing metabolomics questions.

3 A pathway to success Metabolomics research occurs along a continuous pipeline. Typically, it begins with a small number of samples to test hypotheses and identify and characterize key metabolites. These metabolites are then verified and validated in greater numbers of samples to account for biological variation. Finally, assays are developed for routine quantitation of the metabolites.

4 One data file. Three processing strategies. Unknown compound identification With the TripleTOF 5600 system and one sample injection you can acquire one data file using our profile workflow, and process that data in three unique and very powerful processing strategies for qualitative and quantitative information: 1 ] Non-targeted metabolomics - Global profiling 2 ] Targeted metabolomics - Pathway screening 3 ] Lipid profiling 1] Non-targeted metabolomics - Global profiling Global metabolite profiling is used to identify interesting metabolites and potential biomarkers in a non-targeted fashion. For global metabolite profiling LC/MS data was acquired across multiple samples using the profile workflow and opened into MarkerView Software for simultaneous feature finding, alignment, and statistical analysis to highlight metabolites of interest. Find the formula: Formula Finder in PeakView Software calculates the elemental composition / formula using precursor and fragment masses. Structural elucidation TOF MS * (1) * (1) For interesting peaks, query the MS and MS/MS data using Formula Finder and TOF MS/MS the Structural Elucidation tool within PeakView Software. e0 * (1) N-acetyl glutamic acid Highlighting metabolites of interest: The PCA scores plot (left) shows samples that group together due to common variables. The PCA loadings plot with principal component variable grouping (PCVG) shows correlation between common and significant variables. Clarify the structure: Structural Elucidation in PeakView Software matches fragment ions from the MS/MS data to the compound structure.

5 2] Targeted pathway screening Sphingomyelin 3] Lipid profiling Targeted pathway screening is a powerful workflow for highlighting up/down regulation of metabolites in biochemical pathways such as glycolysis and TCA cycle. Known biochemical pathways can be screened by analyzing data with XIC Manager within PeakView Software. A pre-defined target list is uploaded to the XIC Manager (e.g., glycolysis pathway metabolites, TCA pathway metabolites, etc.) and compounds are extracted and identified using accurate mass MS and retention time data. Peaks of interest are then confirmed within PeakView Software by performing a library search of the MS/MS data.

Data files are opened in the software and searched using a database containing over 25,000 lipid species, representing 44 lipid classes and more than 600 characteristic lipid fragments. methyl-groups for emthyl-thf Sarcosine 1.5e5 Betaine: /0.512 Betaine: /0.616 Methionine: 15583/0.618 Cystathionine: /3.179 N-methyl Nictotinamide: /3.783 e0 Homocysteine: /1.278 Taurine: /2.500 Cystathionine: / Lipid identification: LipidView Software identifies lipid species and displays the relative amounts of each lipid species across multiple sample types.

Extract, list, and confirm: The XIC Manager showing screening and library search results of metabolites in the homocysteine pathway. ID and confirmation use four important search features: mass accuracy, retention time, isotope pattern and library hit with purity score.

6 Targeted quantitation Once metabolites of interest are found, the next step is to monitor and quantitate them across many samples and experiments. Using an MRM workflow on a QTRAP System, metabolites of interest are monitored in a targeted fashion, but with the capacity to rigorously quantify 1000 s of metabolites from a single injection. Design your own method, or use a reagent kit and standards to monitor a set of pre-selected compounds such as atraq for amino acids. The workhorse for quantitative data processing is MultiQuant Software. No other software program delivers the algorithmic power to definitively quantitate at the lowest levels. MultiQuant Software features a fast and userfriendly interface with linked panes, predefined advanced queries for faster data review, saturation correction for increased linear range, and the SignalFinder Integration Algorithm for more consistent peak integration and less user intervention. Dynamic linking: MultiQuant Software features a user-friendly interface with dynamically linked panes. Selecting results in the top pane automatically displays corresponding peak integrations and calibration curves. 1.4e5 1.3e5 1.1e5 9.0e4 7.0e e4 Sar bala Ala GABA lle Leu baib Abu 9.0e4 Nle Forty-five amino acids are quantified a simple 18-minute MRM experiment. The sample is labeled with the atraq reagent and then mixed with internal standards labeled with the same tag containing a different number of isotopes. The same amino acid labeled with the different tags cannot be distinguished by HPLC since they have identical retention times. In the MS/MS mode the tagged fragment yields reporter ions that have been encoded with isotopes to yield different masses. The unique MRM transitions, made up of the labeled mass of the amino acid and the reporter ion mass, are used to determine the amino acid amounts in the sample.
