What can Biosciences and Proteomics Technologies do for my research?

The research facility brings internationally recognised expertise in technology development for sample preparation, fractionation and two dimensional gel electrophoresis. Biosciences and Proteomics Technologies also has growing expertise in multi-dimensional chromatography and mass spectrometry.

Biosciences and Proteomics Technologies staff can review and advise researchers on how the research facility can help them achieve their research goals. It will also provide detailed training in sample preparation techniques, gel-based separation technologies, gel imaging techniques, protein spot excision and preparation of isolated spots for mass spectrometry. Subsequent to training, researchers will be able to access all of the research facility's technology and equipment. Consumables will be provided by the Biosciences and Proteomics Technologies on a cost recovery basis.

To put it simply, Biosciences and Proteomics Technologies will provide the training, resources and equipment researchers need while the researchers need to provide a pair of hands and a sample.
