Raw mass spectrometric data can be easily transformed into relevant sets of biological information with the help of mass spectrometry metabolite libraries. Well-designed collections of small biochemical molecules can be used to create a comprehensive MS-based spectral database that once carefully developed and annotated provides spectra and retention times for major metabolic compounds. Such a database let you identify metabolites, optimize protocols and provides a key tool for biomarker discovery. While the major limitation is the number of commercially available authentic standards, The past years witnessed a rise in the compounds in mass spectral libraries, offering more resources to convert raw MS data into biological knowledge.
Many mass spectral libraries are available to help identify compounds within a dataset. However, unless data is matched to 2 or more orthogonal properties of an authentic chemical standard acquired in the same laboratory, compounds cannot be truly identified, so it is best to build your own spectral library.
Simplify Building Your Mass Spectral Libraries with IROAtech
IROAtech now offers 9 different collections of authentic standards for mass spectral library building: Our flagship MSMLS (Mass Spec Metabolite library of Standards) containing 600 primary and secondary biochemicals, LSMLS (just like our MSMLS but containing 1 mg each compound), FAMLS (Fatty Acid Library of Standards), BACSMLS (Bile acid, carnitine and sterol library), AAPMLS (Amino acid and peptide library), OAMLS (Organic acids), PHYTOMLS (plant metabolites), GUTMLS (microbiome metabolites) and PPMLS (polyphenolic compounds).
