We have developed robust, standardized methods for working with a range of sample matrices including human, animal, insect and plant.

• Plasma
• Serum
• Whole blood
• Dried blood spots
• Cell culture media / Supernatant
• Cell pellets
• Feces (fresh/frozen or ambient temperature collection method)
• Urine
• Cerebrospinal fluid
• Saliva
• Tumor
• Organ tissue
• Food / ingredients
• Plant (stem, root & leaf)
• Raw materials

When we receive samples, they are immediately logged into our customized laboratory information management system (mLIMS™) supporting traceability, assured sample quality and quick turnaround.

Samples are stored in carefully monitored, temperature-controlled freezers, backed by generators, until they are ready for processing in our labs.

Our hyper-focus on quality control means that approximately 20 percent of received samples are reserved for quality control. Samples are processed in our labs that are ISO 9001:2015 certified for analytical and diagnostic testing of biological specimens, certified by CLIA and accredited by the College of American Pathologists for diagnostic testing on human specimens. Additionally, Metabolon has a New York State Department of Health Clinical Laboratory permit to perform certain clinical metabolomics testing.
