Shared Research Facilities and Equipment
Many facilities across North Carolina support life sciences research.
The listing covers core laboratory facilities at university and nonprofit research institutions that are open to researchers or collaborators outside of their home institutions.
Representatives of the core facilities listed below have voluntarily submitted their information. Not all institutions list available core lab facilities, but many are in the process of organizing and compiling these resources. As this information becomes available, we'll add those links.
NCBiotech has funded equipment in many core facilities in the state.
The Center's ongoing role is to provide this information portal. If you would like to submit a new listing or update an existing listing please fill this form.
The Cellular and Molecular Imaging Facility at North Carolina State University is located in 4115 Gardner Hall (North Campus) and contains a number of state-of-the-art light microscopes, including a Zeiss LSM 710 confocal. CMIF primarily serves the NC State community and is also open to scientists from other universities and local industries. The rates posted on our website are for NCSU students, faculty and staff. Please enquire about rates for facility users outside NCSU. Training and imaging assistance is available.
Advanced light microscopy; Zeiss LSM 710 confocal; Zeiss Axioimager M2; Bitplane Imaris software; Metamorph software
- Imaging & Microdissection
The Proteomics Core facility provides services for the analysis of proteins from tissues, cells or other biological samples. We are available to the UNC community, as well as external customers worldwide. We're committed to educating students and researchers in the field of proteomics and will work with you from initial experimental design through publication. We offer an array of sample preparation and instrumentation services, as well as method development and in-depth consultation to help researchers optimize their experimental design. The facility is equipped with three state-of-the-art systems: a Sciex 5800 MALDI-TOF/TOF, a Thermo Easy nLC 1000- QExactive HF, and a Waters nanoAcquity-Thermo LTQ-Orbitrap Velos. We offer several services including: protein identification, protein characterization, phosphoproteomics, large-scale proteomic profiling, and protein-protein interaction analyses.
mass spectrometry; LC/MS/MS; MALDI-TOF/TOF; CE/MS: protein identification; quantitative proteomics; post-translational modification identification; phosphoproteomics; targeted analyses; high-resolution intact mass analysis
