Described are methods and uses employing metabolomic data to diagnose an asthma disease state or a Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) state. Further described are methods of uses of employing metabolomic data to distinguish between asthma and COPD. In particular, urinary metabolomic profiles are employed to enable differential diagnosis of asthma and COPD.

Diagnosis of asthma versus chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using urine metabolomic analysis

The present disclosure relates to functionalized nanodiamonds comprising at least one MALDI matrix covalently bonded to a nanodiamond and compositions comprising the same. The present disclosure also relates to methods of performing matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), for example on small molecules, using matrices comprising at least one MALDI matrix covalently bonded to a nanodiamond.
