Description
The Biopolymer Facility is a biomolecular core laboratory. The staff provides advice and technical assistance to Institute staff in DNA sequencing, fragment analysis and mass spectrometry. The main objectives are to:
- Assess the technical needs of the staff in the context of the services described above, and develop resources to assist investigators in accomplishing their research goals. Through surveys and staff requests, we try to anticipate needs and provide the necessary technical services.
- Assist staff in understanding the applications and limitations of various techniques to their research programs through consultation and discussion, development of pilot feasibility studies, and referral to more capable or authoritative sources of information as necessary.
- Provide technical services, which vary in degree of sophistication, but which usually cannot be readily performed in the investigator's laboratory in a timely and cost-effective manner.
- Provide access to shared instrumentation, in keeping with the goal of providing state-of-the-art instruments for staff use.
