    At-home collection and stabilization device for metabolomics

    Collection of fecal metabolites

    OMNImet•GUT | ME-200

    metablomics omnimet gut me-200-kit

    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

    Metabolomics and the Microbiome Revolution: Critical Innovations to Unlock Gut Microbial Function in Human Health

    Héloïse Breton, Ph.D. | Product Manager, Microbiome, DNA Genotek
    Lisa Freinkman, Ph.D. | Staff Scientist, Metabolon

    Special Guest:
    Suchitra Hourigan, MD | Vice Chair of Research, Inova Children’s Hospital
    Thomas Schmidt, Ph.D | Professor, University of Michigan

    In this webinar, we will explore how metabolomics enables a critical understanding of gut microbiome function in vivo as well as how recent technical innovations help overcome cold-chain requirements and other challenges related to collection, storage, and transportation of human fecal metabolomic samples. Join us for this dynamic panel discussion where our speakers will share their experiences related to:

    • Novel and actionable functional insights in microbiome research
    • New breakthrough technology for at-home collection of human fecal samples for metabolomics
    • Real-world case studies of metabolomics in clinical microbiome research
