Services
Stable Isotope Analysis
Our stable isotope analysis services support metabolic research through carbon-13, deuterium, and nitrogen-15 tracer methods. We provide quantitative measurements for lipid kinetics, protein turnover, and nitrogen metabolism studies. Researchers benefit from our GLP-compliant data handling and three decades of methodological expertise.
Hydrogen Breath Testing
We offer non-invasive hydrogen/methane breath tests for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, lactose intolerance, and fructose malabsorption. Our CLIA-certified lab follows AGA guidelines with dual gas measurement and CO2 quality control. Test kits include complete collection materials and shipping.
Protocol Design
Our experts develop customized research protocols optimized for stable isotope studies. Services include tracer selection, dosing calculations, and sample collection timelines. We ensure methodological rigor while maintaining cost-effectiveness for clinical trials and academic research.
Custom Kit Building
We create tailored sample collection kits containing all necessary materials for isotope administration and specimen preservation. Each kit includes detailed instructions and regulatory-compliant packaging to ensure sample integrity during transport to our Nashua laboratory.
GLP-Compliant Reporting
Our documentation meets FDA Part 11 requirements with audit trails and electronic signatures. We provide comprehensive reports including raw data, statistical analysis, and interpretation. This ensures regulatory acceptance for pharmaceutical submissions and clinical study publications.
Questions
What types of research applications do you support?
We support metabolic studies including lipid kinetics, protein turnover, nitrogen metabolism, and energy expenditure using stable isotope tracers.
Are your breath tests FDA approved?
Our breath testing systems follow CLIA standards and meet requirements for diagnostic accuracy as defined by the American Gastroenterology Association.
How long does analysis take?
Most analyses complete within 5-7 business days after sample receipt, with expedited options available for urgent research needs.
Do you work with international clients?
While our clinical lab license covers all 50 states, we collaborate with international researchers through sample submission protocols and data interpretation services.
What quality controls ensure accuracy?
We implement multiple quality checks including CO2 verification in breath tests, instrument calibration standards, and duplicate sample analysis for precision validation.
