​​Our IBioE lab was renovated in 2020 and equipped with 5 ducted fume hoods for chemistry experiments, 3 biosafety level 2 cabinets for separate mammalian cell and bacteria culture, analytical and mechanical testing instrument such as Electrochemical Working Station, BET Surface Area Analyser, Fluorescence Spectrophotometer, Nanodrop, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman Spectroscopy and Microscopy, SDS-PAGE, Rheometer, Instron, Nanoindenter, Programmable Plate Reader, Flow Cytometry, Fluorescence Microscopy, and Multi-Photon Microscopy (MPM) within the lab. This video shows a part of the IBioE lab.
Meanwhile, we have convenient access to the university's advanced equipment such as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Mass Spectrometers, SQUID Magnetometer, ICP-MS, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) within the same campus in King's Buildings, and Edinburgh Imaging Facilities (e.g., Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET)-Computerised Tomography (CT), Ultrasound, and Super-resolution Imaging) in other campuses of The University of Edinburgh.
