Metabolomics definition

Metabolomics means the comprehensive measurement of numerous metabolites discovered in and among complex biological samples combined with data evaluation methods, such as pattern recognition techniques, with the goal of identifying one or more metabolites that may accurately distinguish individual study cohorts. Metabolomics includes, but is not limited to the area of biofluids/biological sample analysis employing instrumental analytical techniques such as, but not limited to, nuclear magnetic resonance (“NMR”), mass spectrometry (“MS”), chromatography, capillary electrophoresis (“CE”), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (“ICP-MS”) and atomic emission spectrometry (“AES”). Metabolomics does not include the direct measurement and identification of specific individual metabolites or groups of specific individual metabolites as may be performed, for example, in the course of toxicological studies.
