UAT – Microscopy

The microscopy platform is dedicated to the preparation of samples (sectioning) and subsequent observation (both fixed cells / tissues and living samples), through the use of clear field and / or fluorescence microscopy ("wide field" and confocal). The morphological and structural characteristics of cells, tissues, subcellular organelles and non-biological samples (e.g., nanoparticles) can be analyzed and different types of functional tests can also be developed (e.g., protein-protein interaction, endocytic processes ). , calcium fluxes, etc.)  Resources and additional information  The High Technology Unit (UAT) is the core-preclinical installation of the VHIR that offers researchers state-of-the-art equipment and specialized technical advice, offering different services within its five Platforms (Genomics, Cytometry, Molecular Diagnosis, Metabolomics and Microscopy): This platform aims to offer the scientific community services and protocols related to functional genomics, mainly dedicated to the profile of gene expression using microarrays: This platform is complemented by the services of our genomics platform, both for quantitative analysis and qualitative of nucleic acids as for the validation of the results obtained by qPCR.
