Prior to the kick-off of your study, Metabolic Solutions will advise you on your stable isotope analysis and tracer experiments. A number of factors, if identified early in the process, can make the study proceed quickly and efficiently.
This will include a needs assessment to consider:
- Analytical methods to be developed or validated
- Whether the study needs to be GLP-compliant
- What training may need to be done for the study
- Optimal kit design including time points and isotope choice
- Choice of stable isotope analysis and instrumentation
- Specifics regarding data calculations and interpretations
- Expected deliverables
- Reporting and archiving requirements for the study
