Welcome to the Bioenergetics Phenotyping Core (BPC)
Welcome to the Bioenergetics Phenotyping Core (BPC) at the University of Mississippi. Located in the School of Pharmacy, the BPC is the core facility that provides stakeholders within the Northern Mississippi region access to an XFe96 Seahorse Analyzer. This system is available with cold incubation to accommodate analyses of multiple species, including mammals, fish, drosophila, and bacteria.
Major Goals
The BPC aims to provide students, faculty, and research staff at the University of Mississippi (UM) and our partners within the Northern Mississippi region with access to a Seahorse XFe96 Analyzer for mitochondrial, cellular, and organismal analyses of bioenergetics and metabolism.
