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.
