Welcome to the Colorado Clinical Nutrition Research Unit (CNRU) Mass Spectrometry Facility.

Researchers in our state-of-the art laboratories provide analytical services and develop new assays and technologies in the areas of mass spectrometry, proteomics, metabolomics, pharmacokinetics and isotope labeling studies. The facility is also developing diagnostic tools to predict disease and to monitor progress of disease and treatment (biomarker discovery).

In addition to investigators within the Human Nutrition Center, we provide services to other groups within UCD, including the University of Colorado School of Medicine, the University of Colorado School of Pharmacy, the University of Colorado Denver, University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) , The Children's Hospital of Denver, and National Jewish Medical and Research Center. We also offer our services to outside and industrial partners.

The Mass Spectrometry Facility furnishes instruments and technologies that would not normally be available to most independent investigators and provides comprehensive instruction for interested investigators in order to increase their proficiency in our complex technologies and instrumentation. We have developed a highly successful "hands-on" proteomics educational program and are extending our curriculum to other areas in systems biology.

Please follow the navigational links to obtain more detailed information about our proteomic analyses, including two-dimensional gel and multi-dimensional chromatography workflows; quantitative measurements of drugs and hormones; biochemical profiling of metabolites; gas isotope ratio determinations for total energy expenditure (TEE) and total body water (TBW) measurements; and a variety of pharmacokinetic and clinical studies.
