" The Analytical Pharmacology Laboratory Core" is directed by Raymond Hohl, MD, PhD, UI professor of internal medicine and pharmacology. The facility is located adjacent to Dr. Hohl’s laboratory on the 5th floor of the Holden Cancer Research Laboratories and includes 800 square feet of laboratory space.

The Analytical Pharmacology Laboratory contains high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) capabilities, and consists of two sets of System Gold (Beckman) systems including two sets of 126 solvent modules, one 168 detector, and one 508 autosampler.

There is also a HP 1090 liquid chromatograph system. The GC-MS system is a HP5890 GC with HP 5970B MSD detector. There is a HP 7673 auto-injector with this system.

Other equipment includes: FP-920 intelligent Fluorescence detector (JACBO, Japan), Spectroflow 757 UV/vis variable wavelength detector (KRATOS), 165 variable wavelength detector (System Gold, Beckman), 235 column heater (System Gold, Beckman), 231 post column reactor (System Gold, Beckman), AG 204 digital Balance (Mettler Toledo), 5417R benchtop centrifuge (Eppendorf), and a Isotemp Oven (Fisher scientific). Personal computer systems are also available.
