Description:Services Provided: The USC Microarray Core Facility (formerly the SCCC DNA Microarray Facility) can conduct RNA quality control, amplification and labeling; conduct array hybridization, scanning and data analysis, and assist customers in all aspects of the design and performance of microarray experiments, using Agilent (pre-made and custom) and Affymetrix arrays. In addition, the facility provides support for quantitation and quality assessment of DNA, RNA and protein on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer.
Hybridization
We provide extensive on site training and support for Agilent and Affymetrix Hybridization Oven users.
Scanning and Data Analysis
Support is provided for microarray scanning and for data analysis with a variety of software packages for both Agilent and Affymetrix platforms.
Analysis of RNA, DNA, Proteins and Cells
Quantity and quality of your RNA, DNA, proteins and cells are determined with the help of an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer.

Description:The Western South Dakota DNA Core Facility (WestCore) was established in 2003 as part of the South Dakota Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network (SD-BRIN). We complement the Proteomics and Genomics BRIN core facilities.
Our primary services include nucleic acid sequencing, genotyping, marker development and library construction. Priority is given to SD-BRIN/INBRE research, but services are also provided to non-BRIN/INBRE university researchers as well as government agencies and some private organizations.
Westcore is a fully staffed laboratory with automated DNA instrumentation, and has a federally approved quality management plan.
