Core Reagent Inventory
Select Cores offer reagents as part of their purchasable services to the CHLA research community. A searchable Core Reagent Inventory was created in support of the CHLA research community BenchResearchHelp - Opens in a new window initiative that connects researchers with reagents when in need of a small amount of a reagent, such as an antibody, to determine the efficacy in a particular experiment.
CHLA based investigators are welcomed to browse the Cores Reagent Inventory - Opens in a new window to access the complete product list for pricing and availability. The database will be updated on an annual basis. Contact the Core for more information.
