PROTEOMICS PROFILING
Category: Laboratory Services
The Q-ToF LC/MS System is a hybrid quadrupole/linear ion trap mass spectrometer. It is capable of performing high throughput and high-resolution tandem mass spectrometric analysis (trap scan MS/MS sensitivity and full MS3 capabilities) for the identification of protein and peptides.

PROTEIN DIGESTION AND IDENTIFICATION
Category: Laboratory Services
Mass Spectrometry has assumed a key role in the analysis and identification of proteins in the modern proteomics workflow. The MALDI ToF/ToF instrument is mainly used for accurate molecular mass determination of peptides and unambiguous identification of proteins. The mentioned CRL service is ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited.

CELL FUNCTIONAL STUDIES
Category: Laboratory Services
Analysis and consultation on a technique for counting and examining microscopic particles suspended in a stream of fluid. It allows simultaneous multiparametric analysis of the physical and chemical characteristics of single cells flowing through an optical and electronic detection apparatus. Certain applications may include the physical sorting of components.

CELL CHARACTERIZATION AND SEPARATION
Category: Laboratory Services
Analysis and consultation on a 4-way sorting flowcytometer. The power of a multi-color flowcytometer and the highly sensitive analysis platform of this instrument allow investigators to categorize the almost endless variety of unique cell subpopulations.

MOLECULAR WORK BASED SERVICE
Category: Laboratory Services
Third-party companies are invited to work with CRL on the development of a service-oriented project to provide laboratory-based services to the Malaysian market, especially for molecular experiments. Both parties are to share technical knowledge, human resources, laboratory space and use the network of contacts in academia and industry to establish cooperation.

CUSTOMIZED ASSAY SERVICE
Category: Laboratory Services
CRL has served and provided clinicians, researchers and industry partners laboratory support and technical expertise in conducting various assays. The range of assays performed include enzyme and multiplex immunoassay, and blood processing and inventory. Direct your inquiries to us to see if we could assist you in your research work.

MYCOPLASMA RT-PCR DETECTION SERVICE
Category: Laboratory Services
Cell health is integral to the reproducibility and reliability of experimental results. CRL offers real-time PCR-based mycoplasma testing for researchers to assess the condition of their cells. Customers just need to prepare their cell pellet in a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube and submit it to our lab for further analysis.

CALIBRATION OF MICROPIPPETTES AND WEIGHING DEVICE
Category: Laboratory Services
Calibration is a process of determining, verifying, or correcting the graduation of any quantitative measurement instrument. It's crucial because a properly calibrated measuring instrument will help the user manage their device or provide accurate data. Hence, CRL also acts as a calibration service provider for laboratory balances and micropipettes.
