Chemistry Laboratory

When an investigator reaches out to inquire about our services, it starts the consultation process where we discuss available assays, sample type restrictions, and special requirements such as inhibitors or stabilizers.  

Process includes:

• Review your project and develop an aliquoting scheme for the assays you have requested
• Advise investigators on the sample collection process for selected assays
• Discuss available assays, sample type restrictions, and special requirements such as inhibitors or stabilizers
• Develop an aliquoting scheme for the sample collection process ensuring the validity of the assay results and minimizing collection costs

The MDRC Chemistry Laboratory currently offers forty-five (45) individual blood chemistry, chemiluminescence, immunoassay, and radioimmunoassay assays listed below:

• Multiplex
  • Luminex LX-200 instrumentation capable of multiplexing multiple analytes simultaneously over a broad concentration range from a very small sample volume.  
  • We offer a multiplex panel brochure which includes 73 human panels, 26 mouse panels, 17 rat panels, and 16 other animal panels including pig, sheep, and cow panels.
     
• ELISA
  • We run ELISAs for investigators who do not have the equipment and/or the expertise to run it themselves.  
  • We can run an investigator’s specific ELISA, or help them find an appropriate ELISA using trusted vendors such as R&D Systems, Crystal Chem, and Salimetrics.
