Metabolic Tracer Resource (Formerly GC/MS Resource)
The Metabolic Tracer Resource provides services to IDOM investigators using stable isotope labeled tracers (typically carbon-13 or deuterium) in cell-based, animal and human metabolic studies.
The Resource offers analysis of stable isotope enrichment of glucose, glycerol, fatty acids and amino acids in samples from metabolic tracer studies. These data can then be used to calculate rates of turnover, synthesis, production or recycling.
The Resource is currently located in room 771, Clinical Research Building (CRB). Analyses are conducted on an Agilent 7890A gas chromatograph / 5975 mass spectrometer (GC/MS).
Please contact Dr. John Millar for further information.
