LECO Instruments UK Ltd. has announced an exciting new collaboration with the University of Liverpool’s Liverpool Training Centre for Metabolomics and Centre for Metabolomics Research. This partnership leverages LECO’s PEGASUS® BT 4D GC×GC Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer to enhance metabolomics training for scientists globally.

A unique training opportunity for early-career scientists

The collaboration will deliver practical, hands-on training courses in GC-MS-based metabolomics, a field critical to understanding biological processes and disease mechanisms. Dr. Cate Winder, co-director of the Liverpool Training Centre, emphasized the uniqueness of the initiative:

Get training in Creating an Environment of Success and earn CEUs.

One of over 25 IACET-accredited courses in the Academy.

Creating an Environment of Success course

“We are excited to partner with LECO and provide practical-based training using the PEGASUS® BT 4D GC×GC Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer to early-career scientists. Currently, there are no similar courses offered globally and therefore this collaboration opens new avenues to introduce the potential of applying GC-MS based metabolomics to a new generation of scientists.”

Advancing biological applications of metabolomics

The initiative will focus on targeted and untargeted studies of human biofluids, cells, and tissues to explore human health and diseases, including cancer and immune-mediated conditions. Dr. Warwick Dunn highlighted the advantages of LECO’s platform over other technologies, such as NMR and LC-MS, for robust metabolite identification and high-quality data collection.

This collaboration underscores LECO’s commitment to fostering innovation and supporting scientists with advanced analytical tools for metabolomics research.
