After sample analysis the BMBI Metabolomics Core Facility sends to the Costumer a report and a bill containing the costs of the analyses. The report will be sent in electronic and printed formats as well. The printed format needs to be signed by the Costumer and should be sent back to the BMBI Metabolomics Core Facility for record keeping purposes. You should note that the payment for the analyses is due even if the results generated are not the expected ones, but control runs prove that the equipment worked well and the analysis was done properly!
An appropriate acknowledgement of the involvement of the BMBI Lipidomics Core Facility shall appear in any publication involving work in the BMBI Metabolomics Core Facility. The following wording is suggested:
"HPLC/mass spectrometry analyses for this work were carried out at the BMBI Metabolomics Core Facility, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology University of Debrecen."
Note also that often other grants/support would also need to be acknowledged.
If the BMBI Metabolomics Core Facility is involved in assay development and/or validation work for the project, co-authorship is required with the appropriate member(s) of the lab.
A copy (or full citation details) of any publication involving work in the BMBI Metabolomics Core Facility should be sent to the facility manager as soon as possible after publication.
Submission of an analysis request form provides your agreement to the above conditions.
