SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a reproducible workflow to convert MRM/SRM peak areas into absolute metabolite concentrations, handling calibration curves, internal standard normalization, and validation metrics so researchers can report reliable quantitative results.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Build and fit calibration curves (linear, log-log, weighted 1/x or 1/x^2) and compute R² for quality assessment.
  • Back-calculate sample concentrations from Skyline or instrument export files and apply dilution factors and internal standard normalization.
  • Compute method validation metrics (accuracy, precision/CV, bias), determine LOD and LOQ from residuals or blanks, and flag QC failures.
  • Use Case: Quantify multiple analytes from Skyline export, validate assay performance with low/medium/high QC levels, and export a results table with QC flags for reporting.

Quick Start

Quantify metabolites by asking the agent to build weighted calibration curves from my standard series, back-calculate sample concentrations from the Skyline export, normalize by internal standards, compute CV/accuracy for QCs, and export a CSV of final concentrations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I back-calculate absolute metabolite concentrations from MRM peak area data?

To back-calculate absolute metabolite concentrations from MRM peak area data, fit a calibration series with known concentrations using weighted regression, then apply internal standard normalization and dilution factors to derive final sample values.

Can I build weighted calibration curves from Skyline export files for targeted metabolomics?

Yes, you can build weighted calibration curves from Skyline export files for targeted metabolomics by fitting peak area or internal standard response data using 1/x or 1/x^2 weighting and computing R² for quality assessment.

How do I compute LOD and LOQ for targeted LC-MS/MS assays?

To compute LOD and LOQ for targeted LC-MS/MS assays, derive method validation metrics from calibration residuals or blank samples, then determine the lower limits of detection and quantitation alongside accuracy, precision, and bias.

What is the best way to validate assay performance and flag QC failures in targeted metabolomics?

The best way to validate assay performance and flag QC failures in targeted metabolomics is to compute accuracy and precision across low, medium, and high QC levels, then automatically flag QC failures in the exported results table.

Does targeted metabolite quantification support internal standard normalization and dilution factors?

Yes, targeted metabolite quantification supports internal standard normalization and dilution factors to back-calculate sample concentrations from instrument export files, ensuring reliable and reproducible absolute quantitative results.
