## Description

The Laboratory of Endocrinology & Receptor Biology at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) investigates the molecular mechanisms governing thyroid and pituitary function. These studies depend on highly accurate, multiplexed hormone¿measurement assays to reveal how thyroid hormone and related endocrine factors regulate tissue development, signaling pathways, and homeostasis.

To maintain scientific rigor, the laboratory requires analytical platforms that deliver exceptional reproducibility, sensitivity, and data integrity. The current Bio-Plex MAGPIX multiplate reader in the laboratory is nonfunctional, outdated, and no longer supported on the market, making it incapable of reliably generating the high¿quality hormone measurement data required for ongoing experiments.

This equipment limitation threatens the continuity of critical research, risks data inconsistency, and prevents the lab from carrying out multiplex assays essential for studying thyroid and pituitary regulatory pathways. The laboratory requires a modern, reliable platform capable of sensitive, multiplexed measurement of thyroid and pituitary hormones. A new system will provide the precision, throughput, and reproducibility needed to support ongoing endocrine research. Upgrading the current equipment will ensure consistent data quality and allow experiments to proceed without interruption.
