Common Equipment
The Biophysics Common Equipment facility at the University of Michigan offers advanced scientific instruments on a cost-sharing basis to foster collaborative research and innovation. Our collection includes sophisticated devices such as the ChemiDoc MP and the Jasco CD-Spectrophotometer, each providing essential analytical capabilities. Access is granted following mandatory training to ensure optimal and safe usage of these complex tools. Researchers can explore our online slideshow to familiarize themselves with the equipment available in each room and use dedicated links to reserve time slots, facilitating seamless integration of these vital resources into their scientific investigations.
SMART Center (Single Molecule Analysis in Real-Time)
The goal of the SMART Center is to develop a university-wide initiative in the emerging area of single molecule technology. This includes single molecule spectroscopy (SMS) and imaging (SMI), laser tweezers (LT), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), and can bring basic scientists, engineers, and clinical researchers together to apply this technology to the most relevant questions in medicine and nanotechnology.
