Services

, a core service facility, is one of the funded national infrastructure networks, and also HiLIFE supported LSRI. Our technology platform offers services for non-academic companies and academic researchers in many diverse scientific fields nationally and internationally. Our core facility provides high-throughput mass spectrometry based targeted quantitative and global metabolomics/lipidomics services to basic, biomedical, preclinical and clinical researchers. Services include targeted standardized quantitative analysis of hundred metabolites method for biomarker discovery, methods for epigenetics (folates), energy metabolism (TCA intermediates, NADomics), bacterial metabolites (SCFA) and neurotransmitters. Helsinki Metabolomics Center is also an internationally recognized expert and service provider for tracer (15N, 13C, dH) flux analysis on biosynthetic pathways, from many different biological classes in 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.

is specialized in compositional analyses of lipids, fatty acids and lipid mediators in animal and human tissues, cells and fluids. We are experienced in metabolic studies utilizing labeled precursors. We serve customers from the fields of environmental, ecological, basic biosciences, veterinarian and biomedical research. The services are tailored according to the needs of the customer and vary from supported equipment rental to full analytical service (including sample preparation, mass spectrometric or gas chromatographic analysis, and multivariate statistics).
