Core Facilities > Technology

The Liverpool NMR Centre for Structural Biology is located in purpose-built accommodation adjacent to the School’s Life Sciences and Biosciences buildings. The Centre houses one 800 MHz and one 600 MHz solution-state spectrometer, both equipped with cryogenic probeheads, and a 400 MHz solid-state spectrometer. In addition, there is a computing laboratory in the Centre for data processing and analysis.

Biomedical Electron Microscopy Unit
Our EM Unit provides state-of-the-art EM and preparatory facilities enabling applications ranging from basic high resolution imaging of immuno-labelled samples through to frozen hydrated cryo-EM and 3D tomography. Expert academic and general staff are available to provide support ranging from initial project discussion and planning through to training, application of techniques and assistance with data interpretation.
We are also interested in supporting applications by post-docs or potential research fellows to come and join us.

The Centre for cell imaging, equipped with world class facilities has grown into a core facility within the University.
The equipment now includes unique combinations of hardware and software to support long-term, time-lapse, multi-parameter fluorescent and luminescent imaging. A range of confocal microscopes, which are able to take a series of sections in depth and sophisticated software allows 3D images of cells to be created. As well as the six microscopes a fast Fluorescence / luminescence / absorption automated plate reader with its own automated cell incubator; and a flow cytometer and sorter are all installed in a state-of-the-art, custom-built suite of laboratories in the University of Liverpool’s Life Sciences Building.
