Reset Map127 South San Vicente Boulevard Los Angeles, CA, 90048 United Stateshe Cedars-Sinai Metabolism and Mitochondrial Research Core provides comprehensive services for analysis of metabolism and mitochondrial function in the research setting. Instrumentation includes a Seahorse XF24 Extracellular Flux Analyzer for measurement of oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) in order to interrogate changes in oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis in cells or isolated mitochondria. This bioenergetic analysis allows testing multiple conditions per assay well and direct, simultaneous comparisons across wells, enabling faster throughput with smaller samples compared with traditional respirometry methods. We also have a Seahorse XFp, which is ideal for experiments involving only a few samples or with limiting amounts of material. Like the XF24, the XFp can monitor oxygen consumption rate and extracellular acidification rate. It is ideal for pairwise comparisons, bioenergetic phenotyping and analysis of patient-derived samples (e.g., biopsies). The Seahorse work area (200 square feet) also includes a biosafety cabinet and tissue culture incubator for cell culture plates, to be used with the Seahorse instruments. A Keyence BZ-9000 fluorescence microscope with user-friendly software for rapid image acquisition and advanced functions including 3-D deconvolution, image stitching and quantitative image analysis is also available through the core. The core also has instrumentation for assessment of whole body and tissue composition of fat/lean/water mass using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (Echo Medical System; 100 square feet, Davis Building), and metabolic cages (Oxymax Lab Animal Monitoring System, Columbus Instruments; 100 square feet, Davis vivarium) for measurement of food intake, energy expenditure, respiratory exchange ratio and physical activity. Noninvasive determination of the respiratory exchange ratio allows assessment of energy expenditure and substrate (glucose versus fatty acid) utilization. The metabolic cages can also be used for quantitative measurement of movement (XY-axis) as an index of physical activity and for assessment of food and water intake over a given period of time (typically three to five days).

The Contract Research Map is owned and maintained by Scientist.com. It was created to help researchers in the life sciences identify and connect with contract research organizations (CROs) based on geography. Updated nightly, this map features all of the available CROs within our network, so you can order services with a few clicks. Click on a specific country, scroll on the map itself or type into the search bar at the top—there are many ways to find the location and suppliers that you’re looking for. From Argentina to New Zealand, use this map to connect with a CRO near you.
We believe that every researcher across the world should be able to connect with the thousands of global CROs that exist and have the opportunity to work together. Like many industries,the life science supply chain has been disrupted over the last year. But there are many other circumstances such as international customs regulations or sensitive shipping times that create limitations around which countries are feasible to partner with. Sometimes, finding a CRO based in a country that best suits your research needs is imperative. We hope this contract research map allows you to find the right partner in the right place at the right time.
Have questions or feedback? We’d love to help. You can find our FAQs and contact information on the Learn more page.
