Life Sciences

The Life Sciences facility provides specialist CL2 laboratory space, preparatory facilities and dedicated bench space for researchers working across the life sciences. With equipment for electrophoresis, chromatography, microscopy and spectrophotometry, it supports the characterisation, analysis and visualisation of biological samples and materials.

Workflows are closely integrated with the Crystallisation, Electron Microscopy and Biophysical Instruments facilities, and users benefit from close proximity to other major facilities across the site, such as Diamond Light Source, the Rosalind Franklin Institute and ISIS.

Facilities, equipment and expertise

Researchers have access to a broad range of laboratories and technologies supporting microbiology, cell culture, microscopy, mass spectrometry, imaging, spectroscopy and chromatography. Representative equipment includes thermocyclers, gel imaging systems and centrifuges, alongside specialist technical expertise to support every stage of the research process. Our facilities continue to evolve, so if you require a particular technique or capability, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
