Reproductive Physiology Laboratory

The Reproductive Physiology Laboratory, commonly known as the Repro Lab, is well equipped for analyses to characterize reproductive function at the whole animal, tissue, cellular, and molecular level in male and female animals. Equipment includes: Siemens Immulite automated immunoassay for analysis of hormones and metabolites, IMV computer-assisted sperm analysis system, Agilent Bioanalyzer and Invitrogen Qubit 4 Flurometers for measurement of nucleic acid quality and quantity, Qiagen TissueLyser, laminar flow cabinets, nucleic acid thermocyclers, and other standard laboratory equipment. The Repro lab also works closely with the AIM lab on tissue histology, microscopy, and image analysis.
