Lipoic Acid Metabolism Service

Lipoic acid is an organic compound that acts as a coenzyme, participating in acyl transfer during substance metabolism in the body and eliminating free radicals that cause accelerated aging and diseases. At MtoZ Biolabs, we understand the crucial role of lipoic acid in cellular metabolism and energy production. Through our specialized Lipoic Acid Metabolism Service, we offer comprehensive analysis of lipoic acid metabolism, aimed at facilitating your research and development activities.

Services at MtoZ Biolabs

At MtoZ Biolabs, our Lipoic Acid Metabolism Service is based on cutting-edge HPLC-MS platforms. The HPLC-MS platform is used to separate the metabolites, and then we utilize high-resolution mass spectrometry to identify and quantify lipoic acid and its metabolites. This combination offers a more accurate picture of lipoic acid metabolism.
