Metabolic Libraries

Metabolic Libraries — a collection of endogenous metabolites and their derivatives—fatty acids such as linoleic and arachidonic acid, amino acids, and intermediates of energy pathways such as acetyl-L-carnitine—that represent key points of cellular metabolic networks. This collection serves as a reference standard for building and validating spectral libraries in metabolomics studies.

Metabolic Libraries are used by metabolomics and biochemistry researchers to build MS/NMR spectral libraries, confirm the identity of peaks from LC-MS or GC-MS, and serve as internal controls when analyzing biological extracts from cells, plasma, or tissues. Compounds such as choline chloride or lipid-derived amino acids also help trace biosynthetic pathways and changes in metabolite profiles under various experimental conditions.

Example products in this collection: TCI L0124 60-33-3 Linoleic Acid, TCI C0329 67-48-1 Choline Chloride, TCI A0297 141-43-5 2-Aminoethanol, TCI C0427 79-63-0 Lanosterol, TCI A0084 60-31-1 Acetylcholine Chloride, TCI D0587 674-26-0 DL-Mevalonolactone, TCI A1478 3483-11-2 Lithium Acetoacetate, TCI E1476 54048-10-1 Etonogestrel.

Pay attention to the stated purity level, physical form (solid, solution, or specific salts such as hydrochloride or acetate), and the suitability of structure and stereochemistry with the target metabolite before using it as an analytical standard. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
