🚀 New publication!

“Targeted mass spectrometry method for the determination of multiple gut-microbiota metabolites in human plasma.”

👏 Congratulations to Manuel Miró and the team for this excellent contribution!

An advanced UHPLC–MS/MS method has been developed and validated for the precise quantification of key gut metabolites — including acetic, propionic, and butyric acids, p-cresol sulfate, 3-indoxyl sulfate, indole-3-acetic acid, and L-tryptophan — in human plasma.

This robust and accurate approach (r² > 0.997; CV ≤ 13.5 %) enhances biomarker detection for disease diagnosis and therapy, marking an important step forward in metabolomics
