Helsinki Metabolomics Center

Helsinki Metabolomics Center (HMC) is a mass spectrometry-based metabolomics analytical services (metabolomics, lipidomics and fluxomics/isotope tracing) providing core facility of Faculty of Medicine. Member of the Biocenter Finland and HiLIFE national infrastructure platforms. Offers services with open access policy nationally and internationally to both academic and non-academic customers in many diverse scientific fields.

Metabolomics unit provides high-throughput LC-MS targeted quantitative and global metabolomics/lipidomics and fluxomics services to basic, biomedical, preclinical and clinical research. We provide rapid analysis services for metabolites and lipids from different biological classes and various types of samples (biofluids, dried blood spots, cells, extracellular vesicles, cell organelle isolates, tissues, stool, biofilm, dental carries etc.) from humans, animal models (mouse, rat, dog etc.), C.elegans, drosophila, bacteria and yeast etc.

Helsinki Metabolomics Center (former FIMM Metabolomics & Viikki Metabolomics Unit (ViMU) of the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences) is hosted by the Faculty of Medicine.

ViMU customers, contact Helsinki Metabolomics center (). Those ViMU´s old methods available after 2025 will be provided via iLAB once they been successfully developed to instrumentation and implemented to iLAB.

Users can now impact on the coming services for single cell and spatial metabolomics by filling a survey form.
