Biochemistry Core
The Biochemistry Core Laboratory provides investigators with basic laboratory support and access to a well-equipped research laboratory suite. CRC personnel assist in coordinating aspects of obtaining research samples in an efficient, accurate manner. Carefully maintained quality control systems are in place for each assay or analysis.
The CRC Nurse manager can also assist investigators with special research pricing for ancillary tests that are to be done by the FAHC laboratory. These reduced prices are available both to the CRC and any investigator who has a 960 account.
