Other Metabolite Classes
We have several other assays that we perform upon request, including those related to the metabolism of amines (such as biogenic amines) and environmental contaminants (such as phthalates). Please inquire, if interested.
*There is an additional fee for QC samples and instrument run set-up/acquired data prep set-up.
Custom Targeted Metabolites (<5 Metabolites)
Custom LC-MS
LC-MS assay with < 5 metabolites
You can request less than 5 metabolites from one of our metabolite class assays (listed above)
Pricing: $51 per sample*
Custom GC-MS
GC-MS assay with < 5 metabolites
You can request less than 5 metabolites from one of our metabolite class assays (listed above)
Pricing: $48 per sample*
*There is an additional fee for QC samples and instrument run set-up/acquired data prep set-up.
Special Request Assays
We have a substantial number of established assays for metabolites not listed above so it is encouraged to inquire if we are able to target other metabolites. Method development can be requested to create new assays but there is a fee charged. In addition, these requests are typically only accommodated if the new method will be used to analyze a large number of samples for the project for which the method is being created. In such cases, execution of this method development may not be for several months after agreement.
Method Development & Validation

Additional Information
All instruments are operated solely by Carver Metabolomics Core staff.
* There is an additional fee for QC samples and instrument run set-up/acquired data prep set-up.
In cases where SPE sample preparation is required (e.g. urine samples), there is an additional fee of $5/sample.
Consulting (e.g., experiment design, data analysis) fee: $61/hour.
LC-MS Method Validation for Quantitative Assay fee: $3,900.
** External (non-UIUC) collaborators are charged an additional overhead fee ranging from 10 – 31.7%. It is capped at 20% for State of Illinois subsidized universities and government agencies. All external projects require a technical testing agreement (TTA). For further information contact Dr. Marcello Rubessa (rubessa@illinois.edu), Associate Director of the Roy J. Carver Biotechnology Center. There is a separate pricing/rate for industry. Please inquire for specific pricing at metabolomics@illinois.edu.
*** Overhead is subject to change to match campus prevailing rate.
Service rates are subject to change based on calculations subject to University of Illinois Grants and Contracts/Government Costing approval.
All scientific work performed by the Roy J. Carver Biotechnology Center (CBC) is required to be acknowledged in scholarly publications, posters, and presentations. Proper recognition allows us to measure the impact of our work and supports our initiatives in obtaining sponsored funding. In addition, any CBC personnel who make a substantial intellectual or experimental contribution are deserving of further recognition as co-author.
