Waters Introduces the Xevo™ MRT P10 for Next-Generation Metabolomics and Spatial Biology

Waters is excited to introduce the Xevo™ MRT P10, a new high-performance mass spectrometer designed to expand speed and confidence in metabolomics, lipidomics, and spatial biology research. The Xevo MRT P10 delivers exceptional resolving power, mass accuracy, and molecular specificity, helping researchers tackle increasingly complex biological questions. New capabilities include up to 200 Hz MS/MS acquisition and unmatched sensitivity for deep discovery, delivering class-leading MS and MS/MS performance with up to a 20× improvement in MS/MS sensitivity. This enhanced sensitivity enables greater analyte coverage and improved detection of low-abundance molecules across diverse metabolomics workflows. When coupled with DESI imaging, researchers can perform high-throughput spatial metabolomics with enhanced molecular specificity and coverage, enabling deeper insights into tissue biology and disease processes.

 Visit Waters at MANA 2026 to learn how the Xevo MRT P10 can accelerate discovery through enhanced molecular characterization and spatially resolved metabolomics.

Move Analytical Introduces MoveKit™ BA: A Complete Bile Acids Solution

Move Analytical is pleased to introduce MoveKit™ BA, a fully integrated, targeted LC-HRMS workflow for absolute quantification of bile acids quantification. The kit includes 32 stable-isotope internal standards, validated reference materials, and a library of 155 targets, providing the highest commercial coverage of sulfated and modified bile acids, microbial conjugated bile acids and free fatty acids. MoveApp™ is a custom software package which includes project-based queue generation, real-time system suitability

testing and raw data quality check, and automated peak assignment. Interlaboratory testing was utilized

to validate MoveKit™ BA across plasma, serum, urine, and feces. The kit requires only 20 μL per specimen. For technical details and ordering information, visit www.moveanalytical.com.

What’s New from Bruker at ASMS 2026

At ASMS 2026, Bruker highlighted new advances across metabolomics, lipidomics, exposomics, including new hardware, software, and workflow capabilities.

timsMetabo™ introduced an early-access hybrid workflow combining biocrates® targeted quantitation with untargeted 4D metabolomics in a single run.

timsMRMS™ brings TIMS together with ultra-high-resolution magnetic resonance MS for complex mixture analysis.

ecTOF extends Bruker’s GC-MS capabilities with simultaneous EI/CI and MetaboScape® integration.

timsOmni™ added Argon collision gas, trapped ExD for small-molecule structural characterization, and a SampleStream automation partnership with Integrated Protein Technologies.

MetaboScape® neXus, part of MetaboScape 2026b, enables cross-project feature matching through Compass Server to help labs reuse validated annotations across studies.



Connect with Bruker at the 8th Annual MANA Conference!

As multiomics studies continue to expand, metabolomics is increasingly recognized as the functional layer that connects genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic changes to biological phenotype. Realizing this potential requires metabolomics data that can be generated reproducibly, compared across laboratories, and integrated seamlessly with other omics datasets. Yet challenges in standardization, data processing, and cross-lab comparability continue to limit broader adoption.

The Metabolon Verus Metabolomics Profiling Kit was developed to help address these barriers through a standardized metabolomics workflow spanning data generation, automated processing, and biological interpretation. Combined with our Integrated Bioinformatics Platform, the kit supports seamless multiomics integration, enabling researchers to generate reproducible data, collaborate across teams with confidence, and accelerate the translation of complex molecular data into meaningful biological insights.



Metabolon – Small Molecules, Big Insights

oloBion is proud to sponsor MANA 2026, and we're sharing some exciting news: oloBion is now present in North America.

We're delighted to be working alongside Prof. Oliver Fiehn and Dr. Uri Keshet, whose collaboration strengthens our footprint in the region and our capacity to serve the metabolomics community.

This means researchers across North America can now access our metabolomics and lipidomics expertise, including oloMAP®, our proprietary platform for data analysis and interpretation. oloMAP is also accessible through the UC Davis West Coast Metabolomics Center and Core Facilities.

Powered by oloMAP and in collaboration with UC Davis, our presence brings advanced capabilities closer to the researchers who need them.

Hello fellow MANA colleagues!

An open-access article published in Analytical Chemistry demonstrates that when technical variances are corrected and a Dual MSTUS normalization is applied to a highly variable multi-batch dataset, the statistical power, quality, reproducibility, and fidelity of the results are significantly enhanced. We conducted careful statistical evaluation and biological validation to ensure that the correction had effectively removed batch effects without losing biological signal, despite the introduction of source manipulations across the six batch analyses.

Please enjoy the article and let us know if you have any questions.

We're excited to be part of the MANA 2026 conference (September 8–11, Davis, CA) and proud to support metabolomics researchers with best-in-class stable isotope-labelled internal standards for LC-MS.

Working with LGC Standards and Toronto Research Chemicals, our catalogue spans bile acids and conjugates, acyl carnitines, amino acids, steroids, drug metabolites, and beyond — covering the breadth of today's metabolomics workflows. More than a supplier, we partner with researchers to design internal standards tailored to their specific analytical challenges, helping deliver the accuracy and confidence your data demands.
