Clinical Research and Assay Support

临床研究中心负责处理目前正在进行的众多临床研究的人体样本。一旦获得样品，我们将根据方案上的说明进行处理，按照不同主要研究人员的说明对样品进行分标、标记和存储。我们目前平均每周处理900个样品。在实验室处理的所有样品都设置了跟踪号，并输入到由Core实验室维护的数据库中。自2008年1月开始的研究使用2d条形码系统进行标记。

The Clinical Research Core is responsible for processing human samples from numerous clinical studies currently in progress. Once the samples are acquired we process it according to the instructions on the protocol, aliquot, label and store the samples for the various principal investigators as per their instructions. We are currently processing an average of 900 samples/week. All samples processed in the lab are set up with a tracking number and entered into a database which is maintained by the Core lab. Studies that have started since January 2008 are labeled using a 2D-barcode system. In addition to the biorepository needs of the PIs, the Clinical Research Core also provides assay services for analyses which are currently not available at DLM. We have tested and validated numerous methods to measure total and active Glucagon-like Peptide-1, Acyl Ghrelin, Desacyl Ghrelin, Leptin, Adiponectin, Oxyntomodulin and several other markers in human plasma.
