Most commonly, researchers take advantage of core labs for DNA sequencing, microarray, mass spectrometry, and 2D gel projects.Accordingly, the top services offered at cores are DNA sequencing and microarrays, while many facilities also offer PCR and genotyping services.
And the users are pretty happy with those services. Most users rated their cores as "excellent" or "good" overall and were particularly pleased with the accuracy of their results, the core staff, and the reliability of the service at the core. Indeed, when asked if they would switch from using their core lab to an outside service provider, respondents overwhelmingly — 64 percent — said that they'd stick with the service they are using now. The users do, however, see some room for improvement in speed of service, cost, and the range of services offered; cores were more likely to be rated as "good" on those points.
