Core Laboratory for Neuromolecular Production, University of Montana

The Core Laboratory in Neuromolecular Production (CLNP) provides researchers with customized small molecule tools, consultation, resources and support to assist and advance their investigations. The CLNP establishes and maintains essential chemistry services for investigators including the preparation, optimization, purification and/or separation of small molecule reagents, probes and/or targets that are focused on neurotransmitter-based structures. Additionally, the core works to synthesize bioactive ligands, cross-linkers, isotope enriched structures, peptides, structure and imaging probes, protein-tags and bioconjugates, library development (target- and diversity-oriented syntheses), and other molecular ensembles. The core also develops drug delivery systems for in vivo and/or ex vivo drug delivery.
