Flow Cytometry Core
The Flow Cytometry Laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art biomedical instrumentation by using the latest developments in laser and computer technology to rapidly and accurately generate detailed analyses of a variety of cell populations and functions.
Confocal Microscopy Core
Laser scanning microscopy is a technique that enables optical sectioning of samples, resulting in sharp confocal images with no contribution from out-of-focus light.
Proteomics Core
Virginia Tech Center for Genomics maintainsa nanosprayLC-tandem mass spectometry unit for rapid protein identification (proteomics).
Microarray Core
Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI)'s primary microarray platform is the GeneChip system provided by Affymetrix. VBI also builds custom microarrays for users by arraying gene-specific oligonucleotides onto glass slides.
Imaging Core
The Biomedical Imaging Division was established in 2006, which consists of the bioluminescence tomography (BLT) laboratory, computed tomography (CT) laboratory and high-performance computing (HPC) laboratory.
Computational Core
The computational core is under construction.
