Where the Bench Meets the Bedside


CORE LABORATORY


The current CRC Core Lab consists of two separate components, an immunoassay laboratory and a more specialized testing laboratory.  The immunoassay laboratory runs a variety of assays including:

  • Markers of cardiovascular reactivity and endothelial dysfunction

  • Hormones and endocrine factors

  • Markers of bone density

The specialized testing laboratory provides measurement of catecholamines by HPLC, insulin, and free fatty acid.  Additionally, the specialized laboratory offers the purification of and determination of organic compounds using high pressure liquid chromatography and gas chromatography and measurement of microelements in biological fluid using atomic absorption spectroscopy.

The staff of the CRC Core Laboratory is available to meet with you and discuss introduction of new assays and any needs you may have to meet the needs of your study protocol. 

Effective November 1, 2008 the Core Lab will be centralized at Brigham and Women's Hospital. More information will be provided later.
