Every biological organism has an individual set of genes, a typical set of proteins and a dynamic set of metabolites. Compared to the genome, the individual set of proteins and metabolites is dynamic and dependent on the respective constitution of the organism, its age or current burden.

Proteomics studies the structures and general functions of proteins and endeavors to deduce generally applicable scientific data or phenotyping, for example of diseases.

The investigation of metabolites provides a snapshot of the current state of the organism; this is called metabolic profiling. This method is used in particular to examine substances for toxicity prior to clinical studies, to identify genetically modified organisms and in nutrition science.

Bruker supplies unique analytical methods and superior technological systems in the fast-growing scientific fields of genomics, proteomics and metabolomics.
