Arizona Molecular Clinical Core

Innovative and reliable testing backed by research

Arizona Molecular Clinical Core (formerly the University of Arizona Genetics Core) established its Clinical Services division in 2014 to provide inpatient and outpatient diagnostic testing services as well as to support clinical trial and clinical research activities for physicians, researchers and industry clients. AZClinCore is a CLIA/CAP accredited testing facility certified for high-complexity molecular testing. With expertise in genetic and serological (ELISA) assay design and validation, the AZClinCore has aided numerous industry and research partners in the development of novel genetic testing and clinical trial protocols as well as providing evaluations for new technology and testing platforms. The AZClinCore supports end-to-end clinical testing as well as reference lab services.

Acknowledging the core

To ensure continued investment from the UA administration, we request that the following statement be included in any publications that benefited from the instruments, workstations, or support of the core. Please substitute the phrase “Specimen processing and testing” in the statement below as needed to describe the services you received at AMCC, such as ELISA testing, Sample genotyping, etc. If a core staff(s) provided more in-depth support to your project, it would be appropriate to mention them by name in the publication’s acknowledgements.

Specimen processing and testing was performed at the Office of Research, Innovation and Impact's Arizona Molecular Clinical Core Facility at the University of Arizona, RRID:SCR_024479.
