BACKGROUND The Genetics and Developmental Biology Center (GDBC) is dedicated to investigating the roles of genes and gene networks in a variety of biological processes related to organismal development and the maintenance of homeostasis. In addition, there is a significant emphasis on understanding the molecular mechanisms by which these cellular regulatory components are disrupted to cause disease, and how they can be manipulated to develop new gene-based and other therapies. GDBC investigators make use of a variety of approaches to answer these questions, including model genetic systems like Drosophila, fluorescent imaging, and genomic technologies. The center has a very old scintillation counter that needs replacement. The updated scintillation counter will be used for all experiments requiring radioactive probes (northern and southern blots) as well as for counting monthly swipes as required by the laboratory. PURPOSE The purpose of this acquisition is for a contractor to provide the Tri-Carb 4810TR Liquid Scintillation Analyzer to the NHLBI Genetics and Developmental Biology Center (GDBC).
