When we think about nourishment and wellness, many of us focus on vitamins, minerals, and the macronutrients — proteins, carbohydrates, fats. But there’s another group of compounds quietly working inside fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and other plant‑based foods that often goes unnoticed: phytochemicals. At Iroa Technologies, we believe in harnessing the power of nature to…
Accurate metabolite identification is the foundation of meaningful metabolomics research. As scientists continue to explore the complexities of human health, disease pathways, drug metabolism, environmental impacts, and microbiome function, metabolomics has rapidly become one of the most powerful tools in biological science. Within this field, the Metabolite Library plays a crucial role, helping researchers identify,…
Metabolomics has rapidly evolved into one of the most powerful scientific fields for understanding biological systems, disease pathways, and molecular functions at the deepest biochemical levels. As research becomes more advanced, laboratories across the world increasingly rely on cutting-edge technologies, stable isotope standards, and precision data workflows. This growing need has given rise to the…
When most people think about digestion, they imagine enzymes, stomach acids, or the gut microbiome. But hidden behind the scenes is a powerful group of molecules that quietly shape everything from nutrient absorption to microbial balance bile acid compounds. These naturally occurring molecules may be small, but they play an outsized role in maintaining digestive…
When it comes to metabolic health, most people think about glucose levels, cholesterol, or hormones. However, there’s an equally important yet often underestimated group of molecules that plays a crucial role in how our metabolism functions bile acids. By using bile acid analysis, scientists can gain a deeper understanding of metabolic pathways, uncovering connections between…
In the world of analytical chemistry and metabolomics, precision and reproducibility are essential. Lipid profiling—analyzing the composition, concentration, and variation of lipids in biological systems—plays a critical role in understanding metabolism, disease mechanisms, and nutritional science. However, accurately quantifying and identifying fatty acids remains one of the most challenging tasks due to the complexity of…
In analytical chemistry, precision is everything. Whether scientists are quantifying metabolites, developing pharmaceuticals, or assessing food quality, the accuracy of their results depends heavily on the quality of their reference materials. Among these, high purity fatty acid standards play an indispensable role. Fatty acids — the fundamental building blocks of lipids — serve as critical…
The growing field of cannabis research is unlocking an entirely new world of medical, agricultural, and biochemical potential. From therapeutic applications to product formulation and quality control, cannabinoids standards play a vital role in ensuring accuracy, reproducibility, and global consistency in research data. Without standardized reference materials, the identification and quantification of cannabinoids would vary…
In the world of metabolomics and natural product research, accuracy is everything. Whether scientists are identifying plant metabolites, validating bioactive compounds, or quantifying phytochemicals, the reliability of their data depends on one key factor — the use of phytochemical analytical standards. These reference materials ensure that every compound detected in a sample is correctly identified…
