Research Facilities

RSBS is committed to identifying commercial opportunities arising from basic and strategic biological research and providing world-class facilities and services to enhance research effectiveness.

ANU Electron Microscopy Unit

RSBS hosts and administers the ANU Electron Microscopy Unit (EMU), a central service available to the whole University, and as well as to external researchers. EMU facilities cover broad areas of Materials and Biological microscopy, with 9 electron columns and also light microscopes. Users are given training and assistance in specimen preparation and instrument operation.
BioMolecular Spectroscopy Facility

The Biomolecular spectroscopy facility houses a range of spectroscopic equipment suitable for electronic and vibrational spectroscopy of biological material.  The facility is able to provide advice and assistance to researchers needing access to this type of instrumentation on the ANU campus.
Biotechnology Transfer Unit

The Unit manages the intellectual property of RSBS and provides advice and assistance to researchers to transfer their discoveries into products. Commercial products already available include biotechnology, software and databases.
Controlled Environment Facility

The Controlled Environment facility (CEF) houses 20 walk-in rooms as well as 43 free standing growth chambers. Fully qualified staff provide services such as watering, fertilising, pest and disease control as well as horticultural advice.
RSBS OMICS Centre The RSBS OMICS Centre is comprised of the Mass Spectrometry Facility and the Molecular Biology Facility.
Mass Spectrometry Facility
The Facility aims to provide researchers with mass spectral based solutions to biological problems. We are equipped to separate, identify and quantify molecules ranging from proteins and polysaccharides down to simple primary metabolites such as amino acids and plant hormones.
  Molecular Biology Facility

The Proteomics and Microarray Facility at RSBS provides equipment and resources to researchers in the ANU to support world-class research in molecular biology.

Stable Isotope Facility

The Environmental Biology group hosts a stable isotope mass spectrometry facility that is used by researchers from RSBS, ANU and outside. We analyse a wide range of light isotope ratios, primarily in organic materials.
