Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of storage and handling on fecal samples collected for metabolomic, proteomic and microbiomic and analysis.

Detailed Description

Background

Human fecal collection for clinical or research studies usually occurs at the residence of the subject, an environment not equipped with measures to accommodate proper preparation and storage of samples for microbiome and metabolome analysis.

Aims

To evaluate the effects of storage and handling on fecal samples collected for metabolomic, proteomic and microbiomic and analysis.
