Core Facility (COREF)

Core Facility at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences consists of several units that provide advanced equipment and qualified human resources.

Core Facility at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Linköping University is a research infrastructure and consists of several platforms that provide a cost-effective access to advanced instrumentation, training, consulting and qualified specialized services withing following areas:

Mass Spectrometry
Flow Cytometry and CyTOF Mass Cytometry
Molecular biology
Microscopy
Bioinformatics.

Core Facility is a collaboration between the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and the Region Östergötland. Our specialised laboratories are equipped with unique, usually state-of-the-art, instruments and services, and managed by scientists with the technical expertise and research experience to help another researcher.

Core Facility is open to all internal and external research groups.

Plattforms

Bioinformatics

Core Facility offers bioinformatics support. Our services range from consultation meetings to custom-tailored analyses in projects with high throughput biological data.

Flow Cytometry

Flow Cytometry is used to measures physical and biological parameters of single cells in suspension.

Mass Spectrometry

The Mass Spectrometry laboratory at Core Facility provides instrumentation, expertise and assistance for the analyses of a broad range of compounds for applications for the benefit of the local research community.

Microscopy

Microscopy Unit is part of Core Facility and is an open resource for advanced microscopy for research groups within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences as well as external users.
