The Endocrinology Laboratory is a
unit of the Animal Health Diagnostic Center. The lab offers diagnostic endocrinology
services for veterinarians and scientists to improve the health of
companion, food and fiber-producing, sporting, wildlife, zoo, and
laboratory animals. A broad range of endocrine tests are done
using three validated immunoassay technologies (radioimmunoassay,
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, chemiluminescent immunoassay).
In addition, the lab supports researchers
at Cornell and universities throughout the world. This immunoassay
service and expertise is used by toxicological and other contract
testing laboratories and the pharmaceutical industry. The laboratory
follows GLP regulations to maintain the quality and integrity
of laboratory results and to improve service to our clients. Our staff
also provides education and consultation to veterinarians, researchers,
and students. The lab is a self-sufficient service
and research unit within the College of Veterinary Medicine, deriving
financial support from testing fees, contracts, and research grants.
