Lots

Lot Description: The Contracting Authority has received funding to support a Glasgow-wide initiative that will enable users to measure the binding properties of molecules directly on live cells. The equipment will be suitable for a wide range of analyses for eukaryotic cell types and will be underpinned by support from dedicated research technical professionals within the Strathclyde Centre for Molecular Bioscience (University of Strathclyde) and the Integrated Protein Analysis Facility (University of Glasgow). The equipment will be part of the facility enabling the UK userbase integrated access to a breadth of bioanalytical and biophysical facilities to examine cellular binding interactions.
