We analyze cell metabolism in tissue extracts
We analyze cell metabolism in various species
From caenorrhabditis elegans, to flies, mice and humans
Cell metabolism comprises a series of daedalian biochemical reactions catalysed by different enzymes, each working with an ultimate goal of either synthetizing complex molecules from simple ones or breaking down complex to simpler ones. INTEGRACELL has developed an extensive repertoire of high-throughput suitable quantitative panel of biological assays allowing an important functional metabolism exploration of several central cell metabolisms.

As it was not possible at present to measure all cell metabolism parameters for metabolism exploration in parallel but successively, hereby generating an unavoidable degradation of the starting material, we have decided to develop new very precise multiparametric means to be able to assess small metabolic variations in the shortest turnaround time. As it is also possible to measure protein (or hemoglobin or DNA…) content in the same sample, we can not only quantified but also compared the different results between us. Therefore, we can unambiguously define enzyme activities ratios, substrates ratios… that allow a true comparison of cell metabolism pathways function at a precise moment.
Spider representation of compared OXPHOS & OS metabolisms at 1g/L and 5g/L glucose in culture of two prostate cell lines
(A: PNT2 and B: LNCaP) 1g/L results are given as reference (100%) and 5g/L values are calculated from the reference
Our simple, flexible and versatile metabolism exploration (compatible with many kind of samples such as cells, tissues, organs, culture media, food, serum, plasma, urine… from different species) enables our customers to get a complete picture of the importance their compounds may have on cellular metabolism either in vitro or in vivo. This will help them to make appropriate decisions on go/no-go steps during discovery.
