The BRF houses new, cutting edge molecular biology equipment to enable researchers in interrogating DNA, RNA, proteins and their interactions.
Additionally there are skilled consultancy staff to support researchers at the forefront of biomolecular scientific discovery. Our comprehensive suite of services include workhorse sequencing platforms for fast, cheap sequencing as well as all the major high throughput sequencing platforms, supported by in-house bioinformatic expertise, and high throughput Real-time PCR platforms.
Services
We hold and maintain a range of equipment and licenses of software to enable users to conduct an analysis of the results we produce.
We offer Nanopore sequencing services to researchers worldwide. We can assist with nucleic acid quality control, library prep (gDNA), PromethION and MinION sequencing and providing a shared high-spec computer for MinION users.
The PacBio Revio, a cutting-edge DNA sequencer, accelerates research and drives innovation across various sectors.
Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is a method by which the amount of the PCR product can be determined, in real-time, and is very useful for investigating gene expression.
We are committed to provide an excellent service, accurate results, fast turnaround times, at low cost.
The BRF houses and maintains a shared laboratory, containing various equipment for DNA, RNA and protein QC, plate imaging, immunoassays, sequencing and more. We provide training for these instruments, and onsell reagents and consumables for ease of use.
