Clinical Pharmacology Analytical CorePolicies & Procedures

If you are interested in using the Clinical Pharmacology Analytical Core, the first step is to fill out and submit a consultation form.

After the initial consultation, investigators may then provide the Clinical Pharmacology Analytical Core with drug (and/or metabolite), internal standard, biological samples, and a high performance liquid chromatography column. 

Initially, the Analytical Core performs multiple tests to identify the optimum detector settings, chromatography system and purification procedures for quantification of compound.  Biological samples will be assayed when a standard operating procedure has been resolved. Then, the results (in units of concentration) will be communicated to the investigator.
