Description:
The in Vitro Analytical Core (IVAC) facilitates the mission of the UNE Center for Cell Signaling Research (CCSR) by identifying molecular mechanisms and cellular processes in aging, stress, bioenergetics, and cellular metabolism by providing the critical expertise and instrumentation to study cell-cell interactions and to delineate intracellular pathways in targeted cell types. The IVAC provides training, instrumentation, and technical services for the development, analysis, and storage of in vitro cell models (such as stably transfected cell lines using genetically encoded biosensors) across a wide range of biological and biomedical applications, as well as various types of sample preparation for downstream analyses such as mass spectrometry and RNA-seq. Services: INSTRUMENTATION • QuantStudio 3 real-time PCR system • FLIPR Tetra Fluorescent Imaging Plate Reader • CellInsight CX7 LZR High Content Analysis Platform • Agilent Seahorse XF HS Mini • Mammalian Cell Culture Facilities • General Protein Analysis Equipment including Jess Automated Western Blot System HANDS-ON SERVICES • Consultations • Troubleshooting • Protocol Development • Cell Line Maintenance and Banking TRAINING • Instrumentation Demos • Individual Hands-On Training • Workshops For service-related questions, please contact us at ivac@une.edu for more details. Please contact the core at ivac@une.edu for instructions on acknowledgement/citation, as there is new NIH guidance with which we must comply.
