Nanofabrication Core Facility
The Nanofabrication Core Facility, or NFC, offers industrial space and facilities, device processing, and characterization equipment to researchers from academia, federal agencies, and the private sector.
Imaging Cores - Optical (Marley & Life Sciences North)
We provide access, training, and ongoing support for users of a wide range of optical (light) microscopes. From stereo and widefield microscopes to more advanced techniques like confocal, multiphoton and superresolution, the facility and the managers are available to provide technical support and consultation to advance scientific inquiry and aid in experimental design.
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.
Kuiper-Arizona Laboratory for Astromaterials (K-ALFAA)
The Kuiper Materials Imaging & Characterization Facility provides access to cutting-edge instrumentation for electron microscopy – the backbone of nanotechnology – and Raman spectroscopy. Experienced personnel can assist and facilitate research.
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.
Flow Cytometry Immune Monitoring Shared Resource (FCIMSR)
We offer flow cytometry and cell sorting instrumentation and expertise, as well as immune profiling of clinical samples. These combined cores support academic research all the way from basic science to translation and clinical trials.
Cryogenics and Gas Facility
We supply cryogenic liquids, gases, and dry ice across campus and outside the University. With our knowledgeable and experienced team, this facility is the designated provider for all such products at UArizona.
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.
Arizona Institute for Resilience (AIR)
AIR encompasses 15 centers and programs that integrate research, education, and community engagement to develop strategies for solutions to environmental change.
Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy
Connecting scholarship with public policy related to the environment and indigenous nations.
