In order to use the Metabolomics Platform services, you should access to our website. Once inside, download our Analysis Request Form. Fill in the form and send it by e-mail to metabolomicsplatform@urv.cat (Please notice that there are several red highlighted fields that are compulsory).
Upon the reception of the request form, a member of the Metabolomics Platform will contact the customer for reviewing the main points related to the project and to define and clarify all crucial issues such as experimental design, sample preparation, choice of the platform and choice of the service package better suited to attempt aims and goals of metabolomics project.
Once the experimental design and the goals of the study gets confirmed; the cost and time scale of the analysis will be defined and the Analysis Request Form will therefore be completed by the staff of the platform; a quotation will be prepared and sent back to the interested customer who will accepts conditions by signing the form. Finally, the customer should send a copy of the signed form to the Metabolomics Platform. Once it is received the project is registered and accepted.
The outcome of metabolomics analyses depends on the quality of the characteristics of the sample set (quality, dimension, sample recollection and preparation, etc) and the experimental design. A previous discussion to define realistic goals for the study, and provide advice on experimental design from a statistical and metabolic profiling perspective is always desirable. We highly recommend to perform,a preliminary study using dummy samples to set-up and customize the experimental conditions. Please contact us for discussion on your needs and joint planning of your research and development endeavours.
