Metabolomics is revolutionizing forensic and archaeological research by unlocking hidden biochemical signatures in bone samples. Through the analysis of metabolites, scientists gain valuable insights into past diets, environmental exposures, and even post-mortem timelines. This cutting-edge approach is pushing the boundaries of traditional research, offering new possibilities for understanding historical and forensic data.

The Challenge of Bone Metabolomics in Forensic Research

One of the most significant challenges in bone metabolomics is ensuring efficient sample preparation. Bone samples, due to their complex matrix, can be difficult to homogenize without compromising their integrity. Precellys Evolution Touch provides a powerful solution by delivering high-quality homogenization. This advanced technology maximizes metabolite extraction while preserving sample integrity, which is essential for obtaining reliable and reproducible data.
