About the SBC Facility<\/h1>\n

We are a core facility operating within the\u00a0Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning at\u00a0The Hospital for Sick Children. Our facility houses a large suite of instruments used in basic research focusing on structural biology, molecular biophysics and more. Applications include molecular interaction characterization, multi-mode detection systems for assay development and implementation, large-scale association and particle analysis, structural denaturation characterization as well as a full X-ray analysis section including small \/ wide angle X-ray scattering for hydrodynamic and shape data collection, single crystal X-ray diffraction for detailed structure determination as well as protein crystallization support equipment.<\/p>\n

We offer facility users access to SBC Facility-exclusive support equipment to assist with experimental set-up. This includes a full range of mechanical and electronic single and 12-channel pipettemen, refrigerated centrifuges, vortexes, balances as well as a NanoDrop, pH meter, temperature controlled sonicator, stirring plate and dry bath heating \/ cooling blocks.<\/p>\n

All facility users have included access to full-time technical and experimental support provided by the dedicated facility manager.<\/p>\n

Our facility is open to all scientists from universities, academic research hospitals and private industry members.\u00a0We offer all-access, yearly facility memberships as well as individual instrument day-use packages.<\/p>\n
