LSU Health Sciences Center-Shreveport

LSU Health Sciences Center has established a Research Core Facility, housed mainly in the Biomedical Research Institute. The Research Core Facility provides access for all Health Sciences Center researchers to a number of technologies that are important for a variety of research goals. These include:

ChromaVision Automated Cellular Imaging System for quantitative analysis of histochemical slides
Bio-Rad Radiance 2000 confocal microscope equipped with three lasers and Nikon Eclipse TE300 inverted digital microscope for fluorescence imaging of live and fixed samples
Zeiss LSM510 Multiphoton microscope system equipped with four lasers for fluorescence imaging up to 500 microns into living tissue
Affymetrix GeneChip machine for determination of global gene expression patterns
GenePix 4000B Microarray Slide Scanner for analysis of DNA and protein microarrays as well as cell and tissue microarrays
Four instruments for flow cytometry and cell sorting: FACSAria, FACSVantage Diva, FACSCalibur, and BD LSRII
PixCell II Laser Capture Microdissection instrument for molecular analysis of biopsies and cytological smears
Voyager DE Pro MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer for protein identification
Thermo Finnegan Deca XP Nanospray LC/MS instrument for protein and small molecule characterization
ABI 7900HT real-time PCR machine and two Bio-Rad iCycler real-time PCR machines for quantitation of nucleic acids
MicroPET R4, MicroCT and Xenogen IVIS Imaging System for small animal imaging

The use of Research Core Facility instrumentation is offered on a fee for service or a fee for time basis. More information can be found at the Research Core Facility web page: http://www.sh.lsuhsc.edu/oor/crf/index.html
