About Us
The University of Maryland Cytokine Core Laboratory (CCL) was established March 31, 1995. The CCL is a full-service research core laboratory focused on the measurement of cytokines and growth factors using immunoassays.
The laboratory is located in 500 square feet of high quality laboratory space in the MSTF research building located on the campus of the University of Maryland, Baltimore. The CCL offers assay services to both University of Maryland and extramural investigators.
The CCL pricing structure is based on high volume and low profit margin. ELISA costs are reduced by using in-house protocols. High volume also allows us to negotiate for lower reagent costs, providing further reductions in the final price our assays.
Assay quality is maximized by following GLP protocols, including appropriate assay controls and monitoring intra- and inter-test variability.
In 2003, we added Luminex multianalyte technology to provide additional options for investigators.
