    Islet isolation and function

    In this subcore, our technical expertise in isolating rodent islets including rats, mice, and most recently ground squirrel 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). For non-rodent islet studies, human donor islet procurement assistance as well as functional studies are also offered.
