The overall aim of the
Molecular and Cellular Analytical (MCA) core is to support the investigation of
human and non-human metabolism from a cellular/molecular perspective. The core
focuses on investigation in the following areas:
Lipidomics and Mass Spectrometry |
Offering analytical services, as well as expertise in interpretation of lipidomic data, the Lipidomics/Mass Spectrometry services can quantitatively analyze the following lipids from plasma as well as cells and tissues (muscle, heart, liver, bone):
All samples need to be delivered or shipped in a -80C freezer box in the order they are listed on the . Sample tubes MUST be numbered sequentially (1 to x, where is x is your last sample). Any unique code for your samples can be recorded on the Sample Inventory Form in the sample description column.
All academic analyses are subsidized by the 麻豆传媒高清 NORC. Reduced pricing is available for junior investigators. Turnaround time is dependent on the number of samples submitted, the specific lipids of interest, and the number of samples in our queue. For current pricing and to discuss sample analysis and turnaround time, please contact Karin Zemski-Berry.
The Bergman Lab has been performing GC/MS analysis for ongoing research as well as collaborative projects since 2004. The lab analyzes plasma samples for concentration and enrichment of
The methods used include:
All samples need to be delivered or shipped in a -80C freezer box in the order they are listed on the . Sample tubes MUST be numbered sequentially (1 to x, where is x is your last sample). Any unique code for your samples can be recorded on the Sample Inventory Form in the sample description column. The NORC Lipidomics Laboratory staff processes the sample, runs the GC/MS assay and analyzes the data.
All academic analyses are subsidized by the 麻豆传媒高清 NORC. Reduced pricing is available for junior investigators. Turnaround time is dependent on the number and types of samples to prepare and run, as well as the amount of samples in our queue. For current pricing and to discuss sample analysis and turnaround time, please contact Karin Zemski-Berry.
Next-Gen Sequencing
Our purpose is to provide existing members the NORC and researchers at the University of 麻豆传媒高清 Anschutz Campus with a consolidated workflow for the management, processing, and biological interpretation of unbiased RNA sequencing gene expression data.
Basics of the Service
We process high resolution RNA sequencing data (FastQ) and implement state-of-the-art computational and bioinformatics methods to supply the end user with statistically significant genes, annotated gene lists, canonical pathways, putative upstream regulators, disease states, gene interaction networks, and biological meaning specific to their research question.
The Mitochondrial Function Sub Core of the MCA Core facilitates the comprehensive measurement of mitochondrial function and cellular bioenergetics for both academic and industry users by providing equipment for end users. Respirometry measurements may be performed on a host of biological samples including cultured/primary cells, permeabilized fibers or cells, and or isolated mitochondria.
Training and professional development in the use and understanding of the various respiration methodologies is provided. Basic training/consultation is routinely provided for use of the Seahorse XF96 Extracellular Flux Analyzer, and the BioTek Cytation instruments. More in depth training/consultation is provided for the Oroboros O2k, and Strathkelvin systems.
Both a XFe96 Seahorse and a pair of O2k
Respirometers are available for respirometry assays in intact cells,
permeabilized cells, and isolated mitochondria. These assays can be used to
quantify mitochondrial ATP production, maximal capacity of the respiratory
chain, uncoupling, mitochondrial membrane potential, and ROS production.
Allows for the simultaneous monitoring of oxygen consumption together with either ROS production or mitochondrial membrane potential.

The Jess is a fully automated capillary-based immunoassay method, requiring less sample, antibody, and time compared to traditional western blots. Simply pipette samples and reagents into the microplate, and the machine automatically separates proteins by size, manages antibody additions, incubations, washes, and detection. Up to 25 samples may be run in approximately 3hrs. Multiplexing is also possible, as the Jess allows for 4 different ways to analyze proteins, Fluorescent (IR and NIR), chemiluminescent, and protein normalization.
Current Pricing: | |
XFe96 Seahorse | $119.76/run |
Cytation-1 | $25/run |
Oroboros O2k | $142.50/O2k/day |
Protein Simple Jess | $30/run |
