An Automated Analyzer System to Strengthen Teaching and Research Infrastructure at West Virginia State University

Abstract

Arena 60 Discrete Photometric Analyzer System and ancillary instrumentation were acquired to increase our analytical capability, increase laboratory efficiency, and improve overall research effectiveness within the three primary research focus areas namely: (1) mitochondrialfunctional analysis of oxidative energy production associated with nutrient efficiencies, growth and development in different life stages of rainbow trout, (2) Aqueous metal-ion complexation utilizing solid-supported water soluble ligands, and (3) Enzymatic glycan treatment and characterization of glycan profiles in pre- and post-treatment. Our long-term goal is to increase our research capacity that will facilitate educating and training students from backgrounds that are underrepresented in STEM fields via the utilization of the newly acquired instrumentation.
