How to start a metabolomics project with Arome Science?
Starting a metabolomics project involves consultation, defining study parameters, receiving a project proposal, and preparing samples for analysis.
Starting a project involves:
- Schedule a consultation — Discuss study goals, sample types, and analytical approach.
- Define study parameters — Choose between targeted vs. untargeted metabolomics, sample size, and platform (LC-MS, GC-MS or both).
- Receive a project proposal — Get a customized workflow, timeline, and cost estimate.
- Prepare & ship samples — Follow standardized protocols for collection and transport.
A structured workflow ensures efficient analysis and high-quality results.
What Information Is Needed to Begin a Project?
To start a metabolomics project, researchers must define essential study details, including objectives, sample specifications, analytical methods, data analysis requirements, and regulatory compliance.
- Establish research objectives — Determine whether the study is hypothesis-driven or exploratory.
- Specify sample details — Define sample type (biofluids, tissues, cell extracts), required quantity, and storage conditions (-80°C, cryopreservation).
- Select an analytical approach — Choose between targeted or untargeted metabolomics and preferred platforms (LC-MS, GC-MS, NMR).
- Outline data analysis requirements — Decide if statistical modeling, pathway analysis, or multi-omics integration are essential and can provide deeper insights.
Properly defining study details ensures accurate data collection, efficient workflows, regulatory compliance, and reliable metabolomics insights for research and clinical applications.
Sample Preparation & Shipping Instructions
Samples should be stored at -80°C (biofluids), snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen (tissues), and shipped on dry ice to maintain integrity.
Follow these steps to maintain sample integrity and reproducibility:
- Collection — Use sterile, contaminant-free tubes and minimize exposure to air.
- Storage — Store biofluids at -80°C, snap-freeze tissues in liquid nitrogen, and lyophilize cell cultures.
- Transport — Ship samples on dry ice or in liquid nitrogen to maintain stability.
- Minimize Freeze-Thaw Cycles — Repeated freezing alters metabolic profiles.
- Follow SOPs — Adhere to metabolomics standard operating procedures (SOPs) for consistency.
Proper sample handling prevents degradation and ensures reliable data.
