The core facility offers access to an array of advanced scientific instruments covering biological imaging, cellular and biochemical analysis, biomaterial 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 and transmission electron microscope (SEM & TEM), and a microCT for fixed tissue and live animal imaging. Cellular and Biochemical Analysis tools include an imaging flow cytometer, a flow cytometer analyzer, gel permeation Chromatography (GPC), UHPLC, qPCR, a lyophilizer, an advanced multi-mode plate reader with incubation system, and a gel imager. Biomaterial characterization tools consists of FT-IR, rheometer, dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA), particle sizer and zeta-potential analyzer (DLS), BIACOR surface plasmon resonance (SPR) system, and a circular dichroism spectrometer. Additionally, a full histology suite is also available.
