Researchers should pay for project expenses that are not covered by funding from the University of Bergen and the Regional Health Authority. In 2112, the typical price for users affiliated to Norwegian universities was 7 € per sample, irrespective of the number of compounds included in the method. In the future, prices will be increased moderately.
Mass spectrometry facility for small molecules
The Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry has established a Core Facility for Metabolomics, which is localized in the Laboratory building at Haukeland University Hospital in Bergen, Norway. The facility was formally opened on 4 May 2012.
The research laboratory is equipped with two liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) units, which are used to establish methods for the quantification of small (< 2 000 Da) molecules.
The methods are well suited for biobank studies and for studies on metabolic networks, but other projects may be relevant. Researchers affiliated to Norwegian universities and university colleges as well as foreign researchers have access to the facility.
