  1. Instrument/equipment

    Laser cutting

    Our medium-power laser cutter can be best thought of as a computer-controlled bandsaw. Like the abrasive water jet, it is largely used to cut through flat material stock. It can also be used to etch various materials.

  2. Instrument/equipment

    Lithography

    The cleanroom offers tools that provide a comprehensive solution for photolithography.

    Located within Yale University Cleanroom
  3. Services

    Long reads sequencing: Oxford Nanopore

    Oxford Nanopore is a long-read sequencing technology that utilizes an ionic current through nanopores and measures the changes in current as biological molecules pass through the nanopore or near it.

  4. Services

    Long reads sequencing: PacBio

    The Sequel II System provides the advantages of SMRT sequencing and now makes it more affordable with comprehensive views of genomes and transcriptomes.

  5. Core/facility

    Mechanical and Thermal Analysis Instrumentation Core (MTAIC)

    The core provides mechanical and thermal properties characterization of materials and devices, housing a range of instruments, including thermal analyzers and rheometers.  Trainings are required in order to use MTAIC equipment.

  8. Services

    Microarray genotyping and gene expression profiling

    Traditional microarray services to analyze gene expression pattern, DNA sequence polymorphism (SNPs genotyping), and methylation.

  9. Instrument/equipment

    Microtome

    A microtome makes possible the sectioning of soft material for TEM analysis.

    Associate Director of Facilities
  10. Core/facility

    Molecular and Serological Diagnostics

    We test tissues, cells, feces and environmental samples for veterinary viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR), and mouse and rat sera for viral antibodies.

    Susan R. Compton, PhD

    Primary contact Director
  11. Services

    Nucleic acid isolation and assessment

    DNA/RNA isolation services for a large variety of sample types, including saliva, blood, fresh/frozen or FFPE tissue, and cultured cells.

  12. Core/facility
