Learn about the science and the team that makes HealthieOne tests possible and unique.
The science of Metabolomics
Metabolomics is the study of small molecules, or metabolites, in biological systems. It reveals changes in metabolic pathways due to disease, environmental factors, or genetics, aiding in medical diagnostics, and personalized intervention.
World-Class Expertise
By combining traditional blood testing technologies and Gigantest’s proprietary next-level metabolomics, the scientists at Gigantest have developed a series of novel health tests that are poised to revolutionize health monitoring.
Meet Gigantest: The organization behind HealthieOne
- HealthieOne tests are created exclusively by Gigantest, a global leader in Metabolomics technologies, trusted by organizations worldwide: universities, government agencies and companies.
- HealthieOne tests represent Gigantest's flagship wellness solution, bringing a decade of advanced lab expertise directly to consumers.
- All results are rigorously reviewed by CLIA- board certified doctors and our trained physicians.
We use cutting-edge metabolomics technology
Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) provides several key advantages over traditional methods:
-
Ultimate Specificity
LC-MS/MS can differentiate between variants of similar molecules, making it uniquely capable of avoiding false-positives and false-negatives. -
Precise Selectivity
Because of its extreme accuracy, LC-MS/MS can focus in on precise molecules and compounds to provide exact results. -
Extreme Sensitivity
LC-MS/MS can detect infinitesimally small amounts of materials, making it orders of magnitude more sensitive than traditional assays. -
Increased Speed
With its ability to detect multiple variants of a compound in a single run, LC-MS/MS reduces the need to conduct multiple tests to hone in on a particular result.
