The Biophysics Instrumentation Core (BIC) Facility offers sophisticated instrumentation dedicated to characterizing biomolecular conformations and interactions, as well as equipment for the isolation and purification of macromolecules for subsequent detailed biophysical analysis. The BIC Facility is committed to fostering biophysical research at Notre Dame and elsewhere.
Reopening!
New social distancing policies
The BIC Facility has resumed laboratory operations with new social distancing policies in place.
Upgrade!
Analytical ultracentrifuge
The BIC Facility will upgrade its ProteomeLab analytical ultracentrifuge to add interference detection to its existing absorbance detection capabilities. The upgraded AUC will be available for use in early June.
New!
