Metabolomics SA

LOCATION: Wine Innovation Central Building, Hartley Grove, Waite Campus

Our aim is to provide specialist expertise for analysis of small molecules including trace metabolites and secondary metabolites, volatiles, biomarkers and chemical quality markers.

Metabolomics SA capabilities include:

• Consultation
• Experimental design
• Targeted quantitative analysis of known compounds
• Non-targeted profiling of complex samples
• Analytical method development and validation
• Data analysis, univariate and multivariate statistics and result visualisation
• Understanding, development of and training in bioinformatics tools
• Contribution to research collaborations

The technologies available for small molecule analysis are Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry LC-MS, Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR).
Access to all infrastructure is through fee-for-service and is on a first come, first served basis. Subsidies apply for Australian Competitive Grant holders and SA business.

Metabolomics SA is housed within The Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI), is enabled through NCRIS and is funded through Bioplatforms Australia and investment from the South Australian State Government and AWRI.

Opportunities for multi-disciplinary projects are facilitated through collaboration with partnered Bioplatforms South Australian Genomics Centre (SAGC) and Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Facility.
