Collect and stabilize metabolites for quantitative fecal metabolomic profiling

OMNImet®•GUT is an all-in-one system for easy at-home collection, homogenization and room temperature stabilization of targeted and untargeted metabolites from fecal samples.

Metabolomics

At its core, metabolomics is the large-scale study of small molecules, called metabolites, which comprise the metabolome. Metabolites present in fecal samples represent the terminal enzymatic process signature occurring in the gut, making metabolomic profiling an especially powerful tool to elucidate the mechanistic functions of gut metabolites in human health, wellness and disease.

OMNImet•GUT is the first at-home collection device fully validated for maintaining the gut metabolomics profile for 7 days at room temperature.

Benefits of OMNImet•GUT

• At-home collection without the logistical challenges of household freezer storage or the urgency of expedited sample return
• Room temperature stability for 7 days – no requirement for shipping and handling under temperature-controlled conditions
• Optimized for use in metabolome-wide discovery analysis and targeted assays like short-chain fatty acids (SCAFs)
• Ability to perform both targeted and untargeted metabolomic assays from a single collection tube
• Volumetrically validated sample input and point-of-collection sample homogenization to reduce intra-sample variation and increase reproducibility
• Tube design compatible with automated high-throughput sample processing to provide workflow standardization and efficiency
• Barcoded-driven tracking ability to increase workflow efficiencies and traceability management
• Stabilization chemistry compatible with common analytical platforms and suitable for long-term storage¹ and biobanking
