State-of-the-art laboratories
Our state-of-the-art laboratories use cutting-edge equipment, such as the IncuCyte® Live Cell Analysis System for visualization and quantification of cell behavior over time. Our specialist histology facilities include the Akoya Biosciences® Vectra Polaris™ Automated Quantitative Pathology Imaging System, capable of multispectral image analysis of up to nine markers on one section (9-plex). We also have Creoptix® WAVEdelta and Biacore 8K and T200 Biosensors (GCI and SPR) Systems, allowing us to deliver high-throughput, quality binding data when screening and characterizing small molecules and biologics, enhancing our biophysical capabilities.
Thanks to our strong links with the University of Edinburgh, we can also provide readouts from highly-specialized equipment, such as the NanoString nCounter® Analyzer, for multiplex readouts enabling simultaneous DNA, RNA and protein analysis.
