The Orthopaedic Research Center at Colorado State University is a comprehensive research facility predominantly focusing on the prevention and repair of orthopaedic disease in humans and animals. While specializing in protein biomarker analysis and development, this program is additionally supported by several molecular biology applications such as gene expression analysis, antibody purification, real time PCR analysis, cell culture techniques, biomechanical testing and histological procedures. As the support structure for biomedical research continues to expand with modern medical discoveries and advances, the Orthopaedic Research Center will continue to provide ground-breaking research for the future.

The clinical research analysis lab is designed for and equipped to run any commercially available absorbance or fluorescence biomarker immunoassay as well as evaluation of metabolic activity in living tissues through radiolabel in our designated “Hots” area. This lab is additionally set up with clinical diagnostic equipment, immunohistochemistry stainer, and most of our general lab equipment such as specialized centrifuges, microplate readers, filtration units, computers, balances and stir plates.
