Hematology and Biochemistry Lab
The Hematology and Biochemistry laboratory at Skidmore College supports student and
faculty research aimed at preparing and analyzing blood samples along a wide spectrum
of variables. Skidmore faculty and students utilize the following laboratory technologies
in their research:
Bio-Plex
Blood assay equipment which allows the measurement of over 200 blood variables, including
metabolites, electrolytes, hormones, and other chemical messengers
Cholestek
Used to measure of total cholesterol, lipid fractions, and blood glucose levels
Centrifuge
Device using centrifugal force to prepare blood samples through density separation, moisture removal, and emulation
of gravitation effects
Cold Storage Freezer
Cooling unit used to store and preserve temperature sensitive specimens
