Your body is a treasure trove of indicators of your health and wellbeing called biomarkers. The Biostarks technology has three main steps to efficiently use biomarkers to provide actionable recommendations for better health and wellbeing
Mass spectrometry allows the robust identification and quantification of molecules through their mass. Both high resolution mass spectrometry coupled to liquid chromatography and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry are multiplex technologies. These allow the simultaneous analysis of a large number of molecules in a small volume of blood, without compromising the reliability of the results. This method differs from traditional analytical assays that require a given amount of blood per biomarker, which strongly limits the number of biomarkers that can be measured.
In our laboratories, we have optimized the analysis of dried blood by mass spectrometry to allow the precise and accurate measurement of thousands of molecules in just 4 drops of blood. For example, for the first time, our laboratory is able to measure a comprehensive panel of micronutrients of the 4 classes of essential micronutrients, namely vitamins, both hydrosoluble and liposoluble, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids. To note, our panels only include biomarkers for which we can provide actionable recommendations to live a healthier life, and not quantities that just pinpoint abnormalities for which we cannot make recommendations. Our laboratories meet the most rigorous standards for reliability, stability, and validity. They participate in external quality controls to ensure reliable results that you can trust.
