Cell Culture and Microbiology
The Cell Culture and Microbiology facility provides specialist CL2 laboratory space and equipment for researchers working with microorganisms and cell systems.
The shared facility provides specialist capabilities for the cultivation, manipulation and analysis of microorganisms and cell systems, supported by a range of equipment including high-speed and high-throughput centrifuges, cell disruptors and insect, mammalian and bacterial cell incubators. These facilities enable researchers to undertake diverse microbiological and cell-based studies, from sample preparation and culture through to downstream analysis.
Researchers can also benefit from integrated workflows with our Crystallisation, Electron Microscopy and Biophysical Instruments facilities, alongside access to expertise across the wider Harwell Campus.
Laboratories, equipment and expertise
Researchers have access to specialist laboratories and equipment supporting cell culture, microbiology and protein production, including microscopy, incubators and cell disruption technologies. These capabilities integrate with crystallisation, biophysical instrumentation and electron microscopy, helping researchers move efficiently from sample preparation through to analysis. Our facilities continue to evolve, so if you require a particular technique or capability, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
