Biomarkers are playing an increasingly important role in clinical and translational research, especially as we |
move toward an era of personalized medicine in both the prevention and treatment of disease. The Biomarker |
Analytic Research Core (BARC) — the central laboratory for the ICTR and the Biorepository — provides sophisticated tools and expertise for Einstein and Montefiore investigators from the initial planning stage through analysis and data output. |
The services include |
• State-of-the-art mass spectrometry analysis, in particular stable isotopes, as well as research-grade |
determination of lipids, and metabolic markers for a variety of human subjects and animal model projects, |
• High-throughput robotics for semiautomated high-quality sample preparation and analysis by immunoassay and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC/MS), |
• Support for novel developmental projects featuring applications of LC/MS and two-site bead-based assays, |
• Research-quality analysis of metabolites for human and animal samples using an Olympus AU400 autoanalyzer, and |
• advanced training in analytical chemistry. |
In addition to its isotope dilution LC/MS assays, BARC has already validated and made available quantitative measurement of 25(OH) Vitamin D, testosterone, and androstenedione via LC/MS. Other dual-use assays for steroids are under development, including ultrahigh sensitivity salivary cortisol, estradiol, and progesterone which will support both clinical care and research use. BARC also offers a novel method for LC/MS measurement of C-peptide, and is currently the reference lab for an ongoing clinical trial measuring insulin secretion. |
All samples processed are labeled with barcoded cryolabels for easy identification. Records of samples and |
data are seamlessly integrated and tracked, and are remotely accessible via a secure research database. |
