Supporting Facilities


BioTechnology Resource Center
 (Division of the BioTechnology Institute)
(Fermentation process development and scale-up ranging from 5L to 450L, downstream processing (centrifugation, cell breakage, tangential flow filtration, chromatography), recombinant protein expression and purification).
High-throughput Biological Analysis Facility
(HTBA Division of the BioTechnology Institute)



Characterization Facility (Institute of Technology)
Supports the characterization of organic and inorganic solids, polymers, and interfaces. Specialists assist users and help them interpret results. Training is available to allow users direct access to instruments.

The Characterization Facility has added two new scanning electron microscopes (SEM). See details, information about other new facility improvements, and new billing options for industrial users in a recent newsletter.

Coating Process Fundamentals Lab
Specialized facilities and expertise support visualization of coating processes. See also Thermal Analysis Center (below).


Imaging Center
(Scanning and transmission electron microscopy including x-ray elemental analysis capabilities (EDAX), (hyper-spectral) fluorescence microscopy, laser scanning confocal microscopy with particular expertise in imaging living biological specimens).

National Institute of Standards and Technology

(NIST; Gaithersburg, MD) Small-angle neutron-scattering characterization of polymer materials.

Polymer Characterization Lab

State-of-the-art rheometry equipment and expertise support characterization of polymeric and other complex materials.

Polymer Synthesis Lab

Design and synthesis of custom polymer materials in lab- and pilot-scale batches.

Thermal Analysis Center

Thermal analysis instruments and apparatus for measuring stress in coatings. See also Coating Process Fundamentals Lab (above).

Tissue Mechanics Lab

Provides instruments and expertise to measure the mechanical properties of soft tissues and other biological materials.
