This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) continued its support for a multi-user research facility specializing in the separation and characterization of biomolecules, the Biomolecule Separation and Characterization Core Facility (BCSFC). This Core maintains instruments, such as mass spectrometers, nanoHPLCs, BIACORE (surface plasmon resonance), KODAK FX in vivo imaging system, centrifuges, ultracentrifuges, gamma and beta scintillation counters, HPLC system equipped with various detectors, capillary electrophoresis, UV/Vis spectrophotometers, microplate fluorometer and luminometer, RT-PCR, thermalcyclers, and several other shared instruments. Numerous other resources are available for documentation and analysis of experimental data collected using these instruments. The purpose of this Core is to provide the broadest possible group of users with access to well-maintained, state-of-the-art, equipment for biomolecule analysis. The facility is housed at room 5.208 of the new Biosciences building since January 2007. The facility was entered in average 1,000 times per month, by 249 individual users, representing 44 research groups from UTEP departments (7) and from the School of Public Health Houston at El Paso (1). The BCSCF is staffed by a full-time coordinator (Lani Alcazar, BS), who has been responsible for routine maintenance, scheduling preventive maintenance by factory technicians and engineers, user orientation and assistance, as well as account and inventory maintenance. Partial salary was provided to the core director (Igor Almeida, PhD) for ongoing oversight of these activities.

该子项目是利用该技术的众多研究子项目之一 资源由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目及 研究者 (PI) 可能已从 NIH 的另一个来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中表示。列出的机构是 对于中心来说，它不一定是研究者的机构。 德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校 (UTEP) 继续支持专门从事生物分子分离和表征的多用户研究设施，即生物分子分离和表征核心设施 (BCSFC)。该核心维护仪器，如质谱仪、nanoHPLC、BIACORE（表面等离子共振）、KODAK FX 体内成像系统、离心机、超速离心机、γ 和 β 闪烁计数器、配备各种检测器的 HPLC 系统、毛细管电泳、紫外/可见分光光度计、微孔板荧光计和发光计、RT-PCR、热循环仪和其他几种共享仪器。许多其他资源可用于记录和分析使用这些仪器收集的实验数据。该核心的目的是为尽可能广泛的用户群体提供维护良好、最先进的生物分子分析设备。自 2007 年 1 月以来，该设施位于新生物科学大楼的 5.208 室。平均每月有 249 名个人用户进入该设施 1,000 次，代表来自 UTEP 院系 (7) 和休斯顿公共卫生学院的 44 个研究小组埃尔帕索 (1)。 BCSCF 配备了一名全职协调员（Lani Alcazar，BS），负责日常维护、安排工厂技术人员和工程师进行预防性维护、用户指导和帮助以及帐户和库存维护。向核心董事（伊戈尔·阿尔梅达博士）提供部分工资，以持续监督这些活动。
