Equipment
Research activities at iBB require experimentation that involves
manipulation of delicate components (microbial, animal and human cells,
tissues and cell organelles, proteins, nucleic acids, etc.).
Laboratories are fully equipped with a complete portfolio of laboratory
furniture (e.g. laminar flow hoods, workbenches), equipment, chemicals
and supplies. Equipment is available to perform a wide range of
analytical determinations (HPLC, GC and GC-MS, 1D and 2D
electrophoresis, spectroscopy, microscopy, flow cytometry, particle
size determination, PCR, cloning, etc), biophysical studies
(steady-state and Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, Fluorescence
Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS), and advanced fluorescence microscopy
techniques such as FRET-FLIM and FRAP) and
complex bioprocess operations (stem cell and mammalian cell cultures,
fermentation, centrifugation, membrane processing, process
chromatography, etc). |
