Core Laboratories

Our core labs and facilities, led by internationally recognized faculty advisors and expert technical staff, are ground zero for scientists and collaborators across the globe. We offer support services and cutting-edge technologies to advance basic and translational research.

Institutional Core Labs

The institutional core labs provide researchers with access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and consultation, including access to advanced research technologies. Detailed information on equipment and fees is available in the iLabs portal or contact the Institutional Core Labs Director, Dr. Ramiro Ramirez-Solis at ramirezsolis@uthscsa for any questions.

Bioanalytics & Single-cell               [Request a Service]

Provides standardized, high-quality services to support translational research, including pre-analytical biospecimen single-cell processing and isolation procedures, as well as analytical technologies.

Flow Cytometry              [Request a Service]

High-speed cell sorting of up to 4 subpopulations simultaneously, plate sorting of single-cell per well or desired number of cells per well, and multi-parameter (low to high) flow cytometry analysis for cellular profiling and deep immunophenotyping.

Read the NIH Grant Resources Description.

Mass Spectrometry          [Request a Service]

Services include molecular mass determination, protein identification, global/discovery proteomics (identification and relative quantification), interactomics, identification of sites of protein modification, and targeted small molecule analysis, all using HPLC-electrospray ionization mass spectrometers with high mass resolution and accuracy.
