Hosted by: UC Davis West Coast Metabolomics Center (Davis, CA)

Location: Online

Instructor: Dr. Huaxu Yu, UC Davis

Required Software: None

Participant prerequisites: None

Level: Introductory

Decription: Metabolomics, renowned for its broad, untargeted exploration of metabolites, holds immense value. Yet, targeted metabolomics and precise quantification are equally vital. Professionals across fields like pharmacology and medicine heavily depend on accurate quantification. This short course focuses on classical quantitation within targeted metabolomics, focusing on critical aspects like selectivity, accuracy, and LOD/LOQ. We'll navigate challenges like dealing with adducts and in-source fragmentation. Additionally, we’ll discuss the nuances between targeted and untargeted metabolomics, shedding light on essential concepts such as normalization techniques and what to consider when doing one or the other.
