Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) is an essential omega-3 fatty acid. Structurally characterized by its 20-carbon chain with five double bonds, EPA is a key component in the phospholipid makeup of cell membranes, influencing their fluidity and functioning. It serves as a precursor to various eicosanoids, which are potent molecules involved in inflammatory responses and cellular signaling.

Predominantly sourced from marine life, particularly fatty fish and algae, EPA stands at the core of nutrition and therapeutic interventions aimed at improving cardiovascular health and cognitive function. Its ability to modulate triglyceride levels and counteract inflammation underpins its therapeutic potential in preventing heart disease and managing autoimmune conditions. Furthermore, EPA's implications in mental health, through its role in neuroinflammation and brain function, highlight its importance in neuropsychiatric research and treatment.
At MtoZ Biolabs, we have developed a comprehensive EPA Analysis Service using our advanced mass spectrometry platforms. Our ultra-sensitive analytical techniques can quantify EPA levels and its metabolites in various biological samples to support your research.
Analysis Workflow
Our EPA analysis is carried out using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). These are powerful tools for the quantitative analysis of small molecules in complex matrices. The analysis workflow begins with sample preparation, where the EPA is extracted, purified, and derivatized. Subsequently, the samples are analyzed on the LC-MS or GC-MS platforms, which separate the components based on their chemical properties and detect them based on their mass-to-charge ratios. The resulting data is then processed and interpreted to provide detailed quantitative information on the EPA and its metabolites.
