Trace Metals Facility Services/Core

A.目标 痕量金属设施核心的主要目的是为CEHNM调查人员提供获得 分析生物样品中的多种金属，包括：铅、汞、砷、铁、锰， 镉、铜、锌、铬、钠、钴、铂、钾等。此外，该设施 为这些分析、标准化和质量控制提供方法开发。生物化学分析 有助于评估暴露于这些金属的受试者的生理状态的方法是 也进行了。该实验室部分由我们的超级基金基础研究计划（SBRP）资助。在 由于最近成功地对SBRP进行了竞争性更新，该设施核心获得了120分的优先级。

A. Objectives The primary purpose of the Trace Metals Facility Core is to provide CEHNM investigators the ability to obtain analyses of biological samples for a broad array of metals including: lead, mercury, arsenic, iron, manganese, cadmium, copper, zinc, chromium, sodium, cobalt, platinum, potassium and others. In addition, the facility provides method development for these analyses, standardization, and quality control. Biochemical analyses that help in the assessment of the physiological status of the subjects that are exposed to these metals are also conducted. This laboratory is partially funded by our Superfund Basic Research Program (SBRP). In the recent successful competitive renewal of that SBRP, this Facility Core received a priority score of 120.
