Transforming biomarker discovery and aroma analysis through automated workflows

Biomarker discovery in breath and biofluids is an exciting advancement in health research, offering non-invasive insights into disease detection, while aroma and flavour analysis plays a critical role in food, beverage, and fragrance industries, ensuring product quality and consumer satisfaction. Both areas share a common challenge: complex samples containing a wide volatility and concentration range of organic compounds. These often require versatile analytical workflows that demand precision, reproducibility and efficiency.

Sample automation combined with analyte preconcentration on Markes’ Centri platform address these challenges head-on by:

Improving efficiencies in the lab, ensuring consistency in sample handling and reproducibility of results.
Highly sensitive detection, critical for important trace-level compounds of interest.

Efficiency and reproducibility in biomarker discovery

Traditional biomarker workflows often involve labour-intensive steps that increase variability and slow down research. Automated systems minimise manual handling, reducing the risk of human error. High-throughput capabilities enable rapid processing of large sample sets to speed up screening and validation for research applications. Centri workflows are designed for versatility, accommodating diverse sample types such as breath, saliva, and urine.

Optimised automation enhances accuracy and analyte enrichment boosts sensitivity, ensuring trace-level biomarkers are detected with confidence. Scalability allows researchers to transition smoothly from small pilot studies to large clinical trials without compromising quality.

Enhancing aroma and flavour analysis

In the food, beverage and fragrance sectors, aroma and flavour profiling is essential for maintaining product integrity and meeting consumer expectations. Consistent sample preparation combined with advanced analyte preconcentration reduces variability and enhances sensitivity for trace components that influence flavour perception. This is key for accurate sensory evaluation and quality control.

High-throughput capabilities support rapid testing of multiple samples for product development and routine quality checks. Flexible switching of automated sampling techniques provides ultimate lab versatility for such complex and wide-ranging food, beverage and fragranced matrices.
