The Human Metabolome Library (HML) is a one-stop chemical resource to order/acquire one or more compounds to confirm, validate or quantify suspected metabolites in tissues or biofluids. The Human Metabolome Library has been developed through the efforts of the Human Metabolome Project. Users may order or request any reasonable quantity (1 mg – 100 g) for as many as 100 compounds at a time. Currently the HML has 876 compounds listed on the HML website, including purchased, synthesized and purified compounds. Through this HML website collaborators and commercial labs are able to request compounds through the HML’s electronic order forms. Researchers may obtain metabolites from the HML in one of two ways. Scientists wishing to use these compounds for basic research purposes or in collaborative efforts with the HML are given access to the compounds as long as they acknowledge the Human Metabolome Project (and Genome Alberta) through co-authorship or acknowledgements. To our collaborators, we ask that you charge only shipping and handling fees.
Commercial testing labs or scientists unwilling to enter into a collaborative agreement will be charged a fee covering basic costs (minimum $10) and handling/shipping fees.
