Our facility offers two analyzers and three cell sorters as well as expertise in a large range of traditional (immunophenotyping) and non-traditional (small particle, geo-physical, etc) applications.

We are equipped for up to BSL-2+ cell sorting.

An open access, user operated facility providing access to chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques including GC and GC-MS, IC and IC-MS, ICP-MS, LC and LC-MS, and other environmentally relevent techniques such as isotope ratio measurements of water, TIC/TOC, and laser diffraction particle size analysis.

The Microscopy Core is a collaboration of the Broad Stem Cell Research Center and the Department of Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology. The Core's mission is to promote interdisciplinary and collaborative research across UCLA.

The Core provides state-of-the-art, high resolution technologies for imaging and analyzing the molecular and structural organization of cells and tissue as well as bioengineered materials.

The technologies available in this Core include confocal, wide-field fluorescence and live-cell imaging, as well as software for image analysis.

The lab offers automated sample preparation and two distinct mass spectrometry platforms which afford a variety of specific services, ranging from shotgun lipidomics to isotope labeling and mathematical modeling of lipid flux parameters. Our full service lab provides data analysis and consultation services which provide users with accurate analysis of lipid metabolic parameters.

USC School of Pharmacy Histology Laboratory, located on the fourth floor of the Pharmaceutical Sciences Center, is ready to help you with your histology and pathology research. This school-wide core laboratory is open to any USC researcher and has everything you will need to make microscope slides from tissue samples. Tissues can be paraffin embedded, sectioned and stained in the laboratory. Sectioning can involve making microtome, vibratome and cryostat thin slices. You can also make color photographs of your microscopic images for publication. Expert advice is available concerning staining techniques and the interpretation of microscopic images.

USC School of Pharmacy Lentiviral Laboratory, located on the second floor of the Pharmaceutical Sciences Center, provides services for production of small-scale lentiviral stocks containing the gene of interest, lentiviral titrations, concentrations and transductions of cells of interest. We also construct individual lentiviral vectors including sub-cloning of the gene of interest into a pLVX-puro lentiviral vector.

The CHLA EV core provides isolation, characterization, and analysis of extracellular vesicles .

The Genomics Core is focused on gathering genome, epigenome, transcriptome and metagenome information for investigators. Our mission is to make these complex technologies accessible and biologically interpretable for clinical and basic research scientists.

The Genomics Core enables investigators with little experience in sample preparation, quality control, or analysis to interrogate the genome. To facilitate this, we have developed general but complete wetlab and analysis pipelines to accommodate standard needs and enable most genome-wide investigations. For more sophisticated or custom designs, we work actively in collaboration with other Cedars-Sinai cores and resources to facilitate investigations.

The Genomics Core now offers new applications for microbiome profiling, RNA sequencing for transcriptome analyses, and targeted resequencing with rapid turnaround times using an Illumina NextSeq500, Illumina MiSeq, and an Ion Proton Sequencer. These sequencers deliver better, faster and less expensive data than current next-generation sequencing machines.

A core imaging facility operating out of the University of Illinois. We offer many imaging modalities, including confocal, micro- and nano-CT, electron microscopy, scanned probe microscopy, Raman, and fluorescence. We assist users in preparing and collecting data on various projects.
