The National Children’s Study aims to improve the health and well-being of children. It is the largest long-term study of children’s health and development ever to be conducted in the United States. The National Children’s Study will look at how the environment affects the health and development of more than 100,000 children across the United States. It will study the children from before they are born until they are 21. Study researchers hope to learn how children’s genes and their environments work together to affect children’s health and development.
In the Study, “environment” includes things such as air, water, and house dust; what children eat; how they are cared for; the safety of their neighborhoods; and how often they see a doctor. By studying children through different stages of their lives, researchers hope to better understand how these factors affect health and disease.
This is a dental instrument manufactured by Hu-Friedy. The lab has 20+ of these instruments.
"GeneAmp® PCR System 9700 is specifically designed for the amplification of nucleic acids. The GeneAmp® PCR System 9700 consists of a base module and one of many interchangeable sample block modules. The Dual 96-well GeneAmp® PCR System 9700 is designed for use with 0.2 ml reaction tubes or 96-well reaction plates for high-throughput PCR and cycle sequencing applications." Lab contains two of these instruments.
"The GeneChip® Scanner 3000 7G is an extension of the GeneChip® Scanner 3000 (GCS 3000) series that allows you to scan next-generation higher-density arrays, including SNP arrays with up to 900,000 SNPs, tiling arrays for transcription and all-exon arrays for whole-genome analysis.
The GCS 3000 7G combines space-saving and other design improvements with speed, superior performance and lower scanner-to-scanner variation to dramatically improve throughput and efficiency in your genetic analysis. The GCS 3000 7G also provides enhanced auto-focus and more consistent scanner-to-scanner biological performance to improve data integrity and data sharing between researchers."
The lab has 2 of these hoods.
"The Autopure LS enables automated purification of genomic DNA from large-volume samples using proven Puregene® chemistry. Purified DNA is highly stable and well-suited forarchiving. For increased convenience and flexibility, samples can be processed in batches of 8 or 16. Easy-to-use Autopure software provides diagnostic and troubleshooting functions that enable users to view the state of the instrument. To simplify data collection, information from each run is automatically stored in an integrated, searchable database."
