  • Breast cancer biomarkers and identification methods using NMR and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
    Patent number: 8980637
    Abstract: A method for the parallel identification of one or more metabolite species within a biological sample is provided. The method comprises producing a first spectrum by subjecting the sample to a nuclear magnetic resonance analysis, the first spectrum containing individual spectral peaks representative of the one or more metabolite species contained within the sample; producing a second spectrum by subjecting the sample to a mass spectrometry analysis, the spectrum containing individual spectral peaks representative of the one or more metabolite species contained within the sample; subjecting each of the individual spectral peaks to a statistical pattern recognition analysis to identify the one or more metabolite species contained within the sample; and identifying the one or more metabolite species contained within the sample by analyzing the individual spectral peaks of the mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra.
