    • $80/samples for University of Iowa researchers
    • $95/sample for all other requests
  • LC-MS: Includes redox metabolites, coenzymes, carnitines, nucleotides, and lipidomics (pending).
    • $175/sample for full LC-MS panel including approximately 250 metabolites
    • Acyl-carnitine panel: $50/sample or $30/sample if included with GC-MS profiling
    • Redox/nucleotides/energetics panel: $65/sample or $40 if included with GC-MS profiling

GC-MS and LC-MS Isotopomer Tracing

Please contact the Core Director with an outline of your experimental design before initiating the sample submission process as extra calibration may be required.

For your reference, the base cost is $150/sample at this time.
