Laboratory Facilities Equipment List Daresbury Laboratory
STFC Daresbury contains two purpose-built laboratory facilities; bio technology and chemistry & materials. They aim to provide an affordable mechanism for entrepreneurs and others to access an impressive array of technologies, equipment and expertise, eliminating the need to develop, buy or pay prohibitively high prices to use R&D capabilities. There is a wide range of specialist high-tech equipment to suit every research need. Business can take advantage of these facilities available to book: Pay as you go basis hour/day/week Lease out a self-contained lab Bio Technology Laboratories We provide biology and microbiology labs, complete with Class 2 containment and high specification analytical equipment. We are supporting award-winning companies to make ground-breaking advances in anti-microbials, medical diagnostics, and healthcare technologies.
