Mission
The mission of the Cancer Metabolism Shared Resource (SR) in development is to provide the investigators of the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center with isotope tracing and metabolite quantification/profiling capabilities.
Services
The Cancer Metabolism SR offers isotope tracing analysis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). We recommend investigators interested in the service to contact the SR director to discuss the project. We will help design the experiment, including the choice of isotope tracer, metabolites to be monitored, and metabolite quantification strategy.
Service | Full Service Fee | Self-service Fee | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Isotope tracing analysis | $125/sample | $75/sample | Incorporation of isotopes into metabolites is monitored by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) |
The full-service includes the extraction and derivatization of metabolites, mass spectrometry analysis of metabolites, mass spectrometry data analysis, and results reporting. The self-service fee is applied to investigators who prepare samples and run the mass spectrometer by themselves. Note that the fees do not include the cost for isotope tracers used.
