LC-MS metabolomics center

LC-MS Metabolomics Center is a service unit of the Biocentre Kuopio operating at the School of Pharmacy. The center is also part of the Finnish Biocentre’s infrastructure network. The center is a comprehensive provider of analytical services based on chromatographic and mass spectrometric techniques, development and validation of methods, interpretation of results, and expert and training services related to analytical chemistry. The analytical methods are based on recent research findings and include both untargeted and targeted methods. Untargeted metabolomics, non-targeted metabolite profiling and lipidomics utilize liquid chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Targeted quantitative methods are based on gas and liquid chromatography in concert with unit resolution mass spectrometers.
