Analytical Services

Our marine oils laboratory specializes in lipid analysis. We can provide basic fatty acid and lipid class analysis, as well as a variety of AOCS official methods. Our services include:

  • fatty acid composition
  • lipid class analysis (by TLC-FID)
  • peroxide value
  • free fatty acid value
  • p-anisidine value
  • biogenic and petrogenic hydrocarbon analysis


We have analyzed many different sample types, including fish, blubber and adipose, milk, edible oils and algae. For larger ecological studies, we can also provide assistance in data interpretation and quantitative fatty acid signature analysis (QFASA).

Contact Dr. Suzanne Budge for a quote on any of these services.
