Microalgae, such as Spirulina, are promising sources of sustainable nutrition with rich nutrient profiles. Ensuring consistent quality of microalgae as dietary supplements requires a quality control method reporting about their chemical composition. Mass spectrometry-based metabolomics coupled with SIRIUS helps identifying primary and secondary metabolites with potential health benefits, including free fatty acids, polar lipids, and pigments.

The easy way to comprehensive structure elucidation
SIRIUS is the comprehensive software solution for the high-throughput identification of small molecules from fragmentation mass spectrometry data. SIRIUS provides a comprehensive set of features spanning every step from feature detection to detailed result validation. It is designed to not only accurately characterize known compounds but also to confidently identify “unknown unknowns” in complex biological samples.
