About VeroMass

We built what we needed: authenticated metabolomics at scale.

Our Story

Founded by analytical chemists,
for analytical chemists

VeroMass was born in the lab — literally. Our founding team spent years at the bench, running LC-MS/MS experiments day after day, frustrated by how many features in untargeted metabolomics datasets remained unidentified. Public spectral libraries were sparse, predictions were unreliable, and the standards that did exist were scattered across incompatible formats.

We knew that confident metabolite identification required authenticated reference data — compounds physically measured under well-defined conditions. So we set out to build what the field needed: a unified, rigorously curated library of authenticated reference standards, each measured in both ESI+ and ESI− with verified MS² spectra and retention times, backed by computational tools that put MSI Level 1a confidence within reach of every researcher.

Today, VeroMass serves academic labs, pharmaceutical R&D teams, and clinical research organizations worldwide. Our mission remains the same as the day we started: make authenticated metabolomics accessible to everyone who needs it.

The Problem We Solve

53% of LC-MS features go unidentified. We changed that.

Untargeted metabolomics generates thousands of features per run, but the majority remain unannotated — a bottleneck that limits biological insight and publication confidence.

53% of LC-MS/MS features in typical untargeted studies remain unidentified, even with library searching
40,112 authenticated reference standards measured in both ESI+ and ESI−, with verified MS² and retention times
3 verification gates — accurate mass, retention time, spectral similarity — delivering MSI Level 1a confidence

Traditional approaches rely on predicted spectra or small, fragmented libraries. By combining the world's largest measured reference library with a rigorous three-gate verification protocol, VeroMass enables researchers to confidently identify compounds that would otherwise remain as unknown features.

Our Values

Rigor, transparency, reproducibility

Three principles that guide every decision we make — from how we acquire and annotate standards to how we design our software and communicate results.

Rigor

Every standard in our library is physically acquired, prepared, and measured under controlled conditions. We do not use predicted spectra or computational proxies. Each compound is run in both ESI+ and ESI−, and every identification passes three independent verification gates before it is reported.

Transparency

We make our methods, data, and confidence metrics fully visible. Every identification includes the raw match scores for each of the three gates, so you can evaluate results on your own terms — no black boxes, no hidden thresholds.

Reproducibility

Our platform is designed so that any researcher, in any lab, with the same data will obtain the same identification results. By anchoring every workflow to authenticated reference data, we eliminate the variability that plagues library-dependent metabolomics.
