3D printers

We have a small selection of 3D printers with a variety of materials to print with, including a resin-based SLA printer. These are primarily for testing designs. We do not offer 3D printing as a stand-alone service.  For standard 3D prints, we recommend one of the wide range of online services.

    Metabolic flux and enrichment studies using MIMOSA

    In this subcore, parameters of cellular and tissue metabolic flux are assessed by incorporation of stable isotope labeled tracers (e.g., 13C, 15N, 2D) into metabolism. The CMC uses the targeted mass isotopomer multi-ordinate spectral analysis (MIMOSA) platform to interpret stable isotope labeling patterns for calculation of rates of discrete steps in glycolytic and mitochondrial metabolism. Such measurements can be used to identify differences in fuel usage (e.g., glycolysis vs. beta-oxidation), and non-oxidative (reductive carboxylation, anaplerosis and cataplerosis) contributions to the TCA cycle.

    Islet isolation and function

    In this subcore, our technical expertise in isolating rodent islets including rats, mice and most recently ground squirrel islets, from the pancreas ex-vivo allows researchers to study the intact islets for their studies or to proceed with substrate stimulated insulin secretion functional studies using our BioRep Technologies Islet Perfusion Systems (8-channel and 12-channel) offered by our core. For non-rodent islet studies, human donor islet procurement assistance as well as unction studies are also offered.

    Abrasive water jet cutting

    The high-pressure abrasive water jet cutter can be best thought of as a computer-controlled bandsaw. It is largely used to cut through flat material stock.
