Major Equipment, Facilities, and Resources

Laboratory:

The Investigational Clinical Microbiology Core (ICMC) and Biorepository are located within Infectious Diseases assigned space in the Health Sciences Research Building, Room E-169. Major equipment include a bioMerieux eMAG automated nucleic acid extraction system, Rotor-Gene Q & Bio-Rad CFX96 Real Time PCR and access to Oxford Nanopore MinIon and Illumina MiSeq sequencers.  

The lab uses a Zebra 110 barcode printer for sample labeling and OpenSpecimen Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). The lab uses the BioNumerics software platform for integrated analysis of all major applications in Bioinformatics: 1D electrophoresis gels, phenotype characters, and sequences. BioNumerics allows the lab to combine information from various genomic and phenotypic sources into one global database and conduct conclusive analyses. Technicians have custom-designed space for workstations in the lab and cubical office space. 

Dr. Satola has access to the EUH’s Clincial Data Warehouse and Cerner Millineum (Emory University Hospital electronic medical records). This data is securely stored in our LabKey server along with the data from OpenSpecimen.
