The Elemental Bio-Imaging Facility (EBF) is housed in purpose built laboratories with state of the art equipment. These instruments include:

  • three elemental bio-imaging systems
  • ultra high performance liquid chromatographs coupled to various molecular mass spectrometers
  • lab on chip devices
  • capillary electrophoresis instruments
  • gas chromatographs and a new 500 Mhz nuclear magnetic resonance system.

The EBF is the only dedicated facility in the world for imaging of trace elements by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.
