Facility Location
A. James Clark Hall, Room 4121 A-D
Brief Mission/Description
The BioWorkshop core facility offers access to an array of cutting-edge scientific instruments from biological imaging and cellular and biochemical analysis, to biomaterials characterization, and histology. Bioimaging instruments include a FLIM&FCS-capable laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM), a fully-automated wide-field fluorescence microscope, an atomic force microscope for biological sample (BioAFM), a benchtop scanning & transmission electron microscope (SEM&TEM) and a microCT for fixed and live imaging. Cellular and Biochemical Analysis tools provide an imaging flow cytometer, a flow cytometer analyzer, a Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), one UHPLC, one qPCR, one lyophilizer, a multi-mode plate reader with incubation system, and Biacore surface plasmon resonance scanner (SPR). Biomaterial Characterization tools include FT-IR, rheometer, dynamic mechanical analyzer, particle sizer and zeta-potential analyzer (DLS), and circular dichroism spectrometer. Additionally, a complete histology suite including cryostat is also available.
