CORE--HORMONE ASSAY FACILITY

激素检测子核心为研究者提供了许多 生物制品中激素测定的分析方法 流体.次核心为样品提供空间、设备和人员 分析和方法开发。调查人员支付费用， 用品费用和按比例分摊的服务合同。现有分析 包括1）胰岛素，2）胰高血糖素，3）皮质醇，4）儿茶酚胺，5）生长 激素，和6）C-肽。一些“微量”测定可用于 分析非常小体积的血浆或血液中的激素水平。一些 设计测定法以测量特定物种中的激素。 调查人员确定，作为该次核心项目的用户， 对所提供的服务的需求约为一半，对 其余的化验。

The Hormone Assay Subcore provides investigators access to a number of analytical methods related to the measurement of hormones in biologic fluids. The subcore provides space, equipment and personnel for sample analysis and method development. Investigators pay a charge to cover the cost of supplies and pro-rated service contracts. The analyses available include l) insulin, 2) glucagon, 3) cortisol, 4) catecholamines, 5) growth hormone, and 6) c-peptide. Some "micro" assays are available for the analysis of hormone levels in very small volumes of plasma or blood. Some assays are designed to measure hormones in particular species. Investigators identified as users of this subcore project an increased demand for about half of the services offered, and a constant demand for the rest of the assays.
