From Scientists for Scientists

High-Precision Metabolomics

Bevital´s analytical platforms are designed with authentic isotope-labelled internal standards for each analyte, ensuring the highest precision, reliability and statistical power for targeted metabolomics and validation studies.

Physiological Concentration Ranges

Bevital’s diverse analytical platforms allow quantification at physiologically relevant dynamic ranges from pmol/L to mmol/L in various sample matrices as serum, plasma or CSF. Consequently, Bevital’s metabolomics methods typically result in very few missing data points.

Highly Reliable Quantification

Bevital’s methods ensure highly accurate and reproducible quantification. Our participation in external programs as DEKS, DEQAS, KEQAS, ERNDIM and LABQUALITY are part of our quality control, guaranteeing the highest standards from sample storage to data delivery.

Complete Metabolomic Pathways

Bevital’s pathway panels include dietary biomarkers, metabolic intermediates, vitamins, and derived co-factors, offering a comprehensive view of the targeted metabolomics network, including potential avenues for crosstalk with other pathways.

Full Academic Support

Bevital is a non-profit research organization and has been involved in numerous scientific projects, providing academic support from writing of funding applications, statistical data analysis, to critical review of draft manuscripts.

20+ Years of Experience

Bevital’s staff has extensive experience in developing bio-analytical technologies and applying them in large epidemiological projects. Our workflow ensures optimal sample handling, taking into account pre-analytical stability, matrix effects and minimizing sample consumption.

Testimonials

"I have worked with colleagues at Bevital for many years looking at biomarkers associated with health and potentially cancer in the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study. The scientists at Bevital are great to work with in terms of contributing to study design (selecting which markers to measure) and grant applications, analysing the results and writing these up. They have the expertise to complement our epidemiological skills. Logistically, sending samples from Australia has not caused any issues and the whole process of sending samples and receiving our data has gone smoothly. The costs are fair, especially in a collaborative arrangement where we benefit more from Bevital’s experience and the data can be put to additional use by the Bevital team."
Allison HodgeCancer Epidemiology Division, Cancer Council Victoria, Australia
"The HUNT Research Centre, Department of Public Health and Nursing, NTNU, has been involved in an international consortium in cancer research (LC3). Relevant biomarkers were analyzed by Bevital. We are very satisfied with the collaboration with the laboratory, they had thorough quality procedures, deliveries as agreed upon, in addition to helpful contributions to quality classification of blood samples of HUNT participants."
HUNT Research CentreDepartment of Public Health and Nursing, NTNU, Norway
"My research group has been using the excellent services of Bevital. Their performance on quality control is superb and provide consistent results on a number of panels of analytes for our research projects. The cost of services is reasonably low and much lower than some of other labs we used. People at Bevital are very responsive and very pleasant to work with. Their services are excellent and the delivery always on time. I have recommended the Bevital services to several of many colleague who ended up using the Bevital service with great satisfaction. I encourage to check out the Bevital's panels of unique analytes which may benefit your research projects."

Statistical power is the probability that a statistical test will correctly reject a false null hypothesis (H0​) when a specific alternative hypothesis (H1​) is true. H0​ is the null hypothesis, which states there is no effect or no difference. H1​ is the alternative hypothesis, which states there is a real effect or difference. Alpha (α) is the probability of a Type I error (a false positive), which is the risk of incorrectly rejecting the H0​ when it is actually true. You set this value before the experiment, commonly at 0.05. Beta (β) is the probability of a Type II error (a false negative), which is the risk of failing to reject the H0​ when it is actually false.

Power is calculated as 1−β. Increasing power means you are decreasing the probability of making a Type II error.

Several factors can be adjusted to increase the power of a statistical test:

  • Effect Size: This is the magnitude of the difference you are trying to detect. A larger effect size is easier to detect, thus increasing power. 

  • Sample Size: The number of observations in a study. A larger sample size provides more information about the population, reducing the margin of error and increasing the power to detect a true effect.

  • Variation: Refers to the spread or standard deviation of the data within the population. Less variation makes it easier to distinguish a real effect from random noise, thereby increasing power.

  • Alpha (): Increasing the alpha level (e.g., from 0.05 to 0.10) also increases power, but at the cost of a higher risk of a Type I error. This trade-off is often undesirable.
