Research Facilities

The Bioengineering group has well equipped laboratories, with equipment such as:

• Computer controlled bioreactors
• Mammallian tissue culture facilities (fully automated 50 litre facility with built in homogeniser, cross flow filter, extractor, ion exchanger and online UV analysis for plasmid quantification)
• Clean room
• Ultra high precision impedance spectrometers
• Quart resonance micro balance
• Potentiostat
• Supercritical fluid technology
• Advanced Microscopy facilities
• Membrane separation equipment and research facilities
• PC1 and PC2 laboratory
• High pressure reactors
• Freeze drier
• Centrifuge of various sizes
• Autoclave

The School provides excellent computer facilities as well as a wide variety of analytical facilities which includes Malvern, surface area and porosity measurement and a microwave reactor.

In addition, the Bioengineering group has close ties with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (just south of Sydney) and has access to neutron scattering facilities (including neutron reflectometry) as well as a host of other advanced instruments found at the organisation.

It also has access to advanced SEM, TEM, STM and AFM microscopy facilities on Sydney University campus.
