OMNImet•GUT | ME-200
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.

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:
