Introduction
Quantitative analysis of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) is a method used to measure the concentrations of SCFAs in biological systems. SCFAs are a class of organic compounds produced by gut microbiota through the metabolism of dietary fiber, including acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, and others. These molecules play important physiological roles in the gut, such as providing energy and maintaining intestinal health. Quantitative analysis of SCFAs is of great significance for studying gut health, fiber metabolism, probiotic functions, and more. By thoroughly analyzing the composition and concentration of SCFAs in samples, we can better understand their impact on human health and provide valuable data for related research.
Features / strengths
1.This laboratory utilizes ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) for analytical testing, enabling the separation, quantification, and identification of short-chain fatty acids in samples.
2.An internal standard such as butyric acid-2,2,3,3-d₄ is used for calibration to improve the accuracy of the measurements.
