All services can be tailored to our client's specific needs.
Other services include:
- Growth and maintenance of cells
- Growth and maintenance of undifferentiated stem cells for in vitro differentiation to hematopoietic, pancreatic, endothelial and neural lineages
- Analysis of gene expression patterns during culture and differentiation
- Providing ideal model systems for the generation of specific cell types for potential development of therapeutic cell design approaches
- Creation of genetically modified cells for functional studies
- Cell viability studies
BIOsource™ GENOMIC SERVICES
Real-time PCR remains one of the most sensitive tools for quantitation of nucleic acids used today. The Genomics Core offers both custom and pre-optimized assays for an assortment of applications. We offer support in all aspects of the project from assay design to data analysis. It is our uncompromised attention to detail from sample QC to statistical analysis that sets our service apart from the others.
The Real-Time PCR service is advantageous to researchers conducting the following studies:
- Gene expression profiling (microarray study validation)
- Copy number determination of DNA or RNA targets
- siRNA knockdown validation
- Allelic discrimination / SNP genotyping
- Transgenic mouse genotyping
- Biodistribution studies of gene therapy products
- Microbial detection
- Real-time pcr pluripotency/differentiation assays
BIOsource™ GENOMIC SERVICES also offers a pathological screening service where biological specimens may be submitted to DV Biologics laboratories for detection of Hepatitis B, C, HIV I & II and other viral and bacterial contaminants.
