Various Core facilities
Author: Idea Eelan
As the number of educational and research institutes are increasing day by day, the need for supplying core facilities is increasing too. In fact, you can found specially made core facility management software to provide those types of services to the clients. Here is some of the most popular core facility core facilities listed below –
- Light microscopy core management software stores the information regarding the capital instruments like TRIP systems, Confocals, wide field microscopy, Multiphone systems, stereo microscopes etc.
- Genomics core software includes the information regarding genotyping and core sequencing. The most important task for the sequencing service is Next Gen DNA sequencing and Sanger sequencing. On other hand some of the most popular genotyping techniques are SNP genotyping, capillary fragment analyses etc.
- Another type of core facility management is called the flow cytometry facilities. It depends mainly on Work Orders and Sample Submissions.
- DNA sequencing facilities are becoming very popular all over the world in these days. It includes the processes like CDNA services, next gen sequencing, fragment analysis, and full run sequencing.
- There is a large scale protein analysis procedure is in practice, which is known as proteomics core facility. It uses mass spectrometry mainly.
- The core facility management in histology helps in sectioning the tissues through histology processes. The administrators of these facilities have the duty to train the new entrants in this work properly.
- High content screen facilities help the users to analyze either the whole or component of the cells to readout several parameters simultaneously. It can also identify small molecules like RNAi, peptides, or small molecules.
- IVIF or In-Vivo Imaging facilities deal with both preclinical and clinical resources. It includes ultra high-field magnetic resonance imaging, simultaneous MR/PET, PET-CT, Optical and ultrasound small animal imaging. Here admin trains the users and charge them for subsequent users later.
- Bio-assay core management facilities have great use in conducting the tests, which measure the effects of the substances on some living organism. It also helps to determine the concentration of some analyte in a particular mixture.
- Computation core facilities help in performing complex analysis, which requires some high performance computing infrastructure and a large set of maintained, embedded international or national databases.
- Some other type of core facilities are metabolimics, cells and tissue facilities, structural biology facilities, pathology, drug development facilities, monoclonal antibody facility, clinical services and trials etc.
