Metabolomics services

The metabolomics expertise within SwedNMR is distributed at four different sites. Together we have expertise and experience with a large array of sample types, sample preparations and data analysis methods. We support users from academia as well as clinicians and biotech companies. We welcome all types of metabolomics projects and offer different levels of support, from consulting to service and collaborations. Contact information and more information about each site can be found below.

University of Gothenburg

This site is one of the primary access sites for users. Experience with a wide variety of biofluids such as serum and plasma from both human and other organisms (pig, bovine, mouse, rat), urine, CSF and saliva. We have experience with other matrices as well, such as tissue and cell extracts from various organisms. We are using IVDr (in vitro diagnostics for research), a standardized protocol used at different labs developed to ensure reproducible and reliable quantifications of selected metabolites important for many clinical studies.

Umeå University

We have experience with metabolomics studies of body fluids (blood, urine, saliva, lymph and rumen) but are also specialized in tissue analysis using HR-MAS (High Resolution Magic Angle Spinning) that allows for characterization of intact tissue samples that could be used for further studies after NMR analysis, such as histopathological studies.

We also perform studies on other material such as peat, soil, wood, coffee and cell media.
