Imaging Cores - Electron (Life Sciences North)

The core facility is a full service lab providing access to advanced expertise in Biological Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) related research, from consultation to imaging service and training to faculty, scientists and students on campus, external research institutions and industrial community. We receive previously fixed samples, prepare them for TEM, negative staining and immunoelectron microscopy techniques, and perform ultramicrotomy, digital imaging and interpretation of results.

Functional Genomics Core (FGC)

The Functional Genomics Core’s mission is to provide researchers at the University of Arizona with the capacity to run high-throughput compound/drug, RNAi, and deletion library based screens for the purpose of network analysis, drug and/or target discovery. We will work with you to develop or optimize an assay, carryout a screen and/or analyze the data. The equipment in the laboratory is also available for general (low-throughput) use.

Analytical & Biological Mass Spectrometry

At the Analytical & Biological Mass Spectrometry Facility (ABMS), we have state-of-the-art equipment and unparalleled expertise for the analysis of a variety of biological and small molecules. One of our specializations includes protein-analysis encompassing: protein identification, protein and peptide sequence confirmation, intact protein molecular weight determination, complex protein sample analysis, and protein/antibody-drug interactions.
