Targeted metabolomics is an analytical approach focused on detecting specific individual metabolites or distinct classes of compounds. It is highly valued for its strong specificity, high sensitivity, and accurate quantification. By utilizing AB SCIEX series triple quadrupole UPLC-MS (Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) systems, researchers can detect metabolites present at very low concentrations, significantly broadening the scope of application. Through comparative analysis with authentic standards, this method yields absolute abundance data for the target metabolites. As analytical research advances and metabolic networks become more comprehensively mapped, biological studies are increasingly delving into the intricate details of specific metabolic pathways—a domain where targeted metabolomics plays a pivotal role in refined metabolic research.
