Sample preparation robots
Beckman Coulter FXp and NXp liquid handling robotics, including a unique integration of a bead-based tissue homogeniser and centrifuge for metabolite extraction of low biomass samples.
Phenome Centre Birmingham
The Phenome Centre Birmingham is a metabolomics facility focused on human health and toxicology, directed by Professor Mark Viant, houses multiple mass spectrometers and NMR spectrometers for untargeted and targeted metabolite analyses (including three Thermo Scientific UHPLC Q Exactive Focus, LTQ Orbitrap Elite, two UHPLC Quantiva, two Bruker 600MHz NMR spectrometers).
Birmingham Metabolomics Training Centre
The Birmingham Metabolomics Training Centre is one of the most established training facilities for metabolomics in Europe, co-founded by Professor Mark Viant, and houses a Thermo Scientific Vanquish UHPLC Q Exactive Plus mass spectrometer for training untargeted metabolomics.
Informatics resources (hardware)
High performance computing (BlueBEAR), dedicated Research Data Storage (secure, replicated, fast access), and a Galaxy instance for processing standardised workflows.
Informatics resources (software)
Shared openly through our dedicated GitHub Viant metabolomics and GitHub Computational Metabolomics groups, and the Galaxy Tool Shed.
