Acknowledgment & Co-Authorship

All work performed in any of the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences’ shared facilities should be acknowledged in scholarly reports, presentations, posters, papers, and all other publications. Proper acknowledgment provides a visible measure of the impact of the Huck Institutes’ shared facilities and is essential for our continued funding.

Acknowledgement of the Metabolomics Core Facility must include the use of the core's unique RRID (SCR_023864). Please see the examples below.

When to Acknowledge or Provide Co-Authorship

Include an acknowledgement any time the Metabolomics Core Facility provides services that support your research.
If a staff member has made a significant intellectual contribution beyond routine sample analysis, please consider co-authorship.

: Offers nominal and accurate mass spectrometry of synthetic compounds and biomolecules. Our main goal is to identify and quantify small molecules (<1kDa) present in a wide variety of sample types including animal biofluids, cells, and tissues, bacteria, fungi, food products, water, soil, and plants. Comparing metabolites across samples can offer insights into the underlying biological processes involved in their biosynthesis. The facility’s services include sample preparation, identification and quantitation by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS, LC-MS/MS, LC-MSn) or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as well as data analysis.
