Access
NExTLi lipidomics services are provided through the Core Facility Metabolomics (CFM) of Amsterdam UMC.
Project requests, sample instructions, shipment, and pricing are handled via the CFM. Each project starts with a consultation to translate your research question into the right lipidomics strategy, including tracer or low-input options where relevant.
How to start
- Contact the CFM with your research question
- Consultation on design, feasibility, and sample requirements
- Sample preparation and shipment following CFM instructions
- Measurement, data processing, and QC
- Results, interpretation, and FAIR data delivery
What we need from you
A clear research question, basic sample information, and any constraints. We help refine the experimental design.
- Research question and intended comparisons
- Sample type, origin, quantity, and storage conditions
- Constraints (timing, budget, limited material)
- Preferred outputs (hypothesis test, profiling, method development)
What you get
Deliverables depend on the workflow, but always include documented QC and outputs designed for reuse.
- Study design aligned to your question
- Standardized processing and QC summaries
- Annotated, quantitative lipid datasets
- Expert-supported interpretation and help with reporting
- Data packages suitable for reuse and repository deposition
Who we work with
Academic and clinical research
Research groups at universities, UMCs, and research institutes, from single experiments to long-term collaborations.
Industry
Pharmaceutical, biotech, and nutrition companies requiring in-depth lipid characterization, under agreed contractual terms.
Method development
Joint projects that need new capabilities, such as isomer-resolved, low-input, spatial, or tracer workflows.
Pricing depends on workflow and sample number and is provided by the CFM on request. Instructions, forms, and shipment details are available on the CFM website.
