The High-Throughput Screening lab provides the equipment and expertise to carry out cell-based and biochemical screens on our integrated robotic systems. The facility offers a diverse collection of chemical compound libraries from commercial and in house sources. The lab has two decades of experience in screening, and our instrumentation allows us to screen a diverse range of targets accurately and at a fast pace. We offer training on the equipment to allow academic users the opportunity to become experienced users. Screening campaigns are offered to both academic and industrial clients.

The CMCB Protein Lab provides expertise, technical support, and training on instruments related to cell and protein biology. The Protein Lab is our core area for cell growth, protein expression and purification, assay development, and enzyme kinetics. Protein lab staff are experienced in the design, development, and analysis of a wide range of applications. Our protein lab also features a Biosafety Level 2 area for growth and manipulation of Level 2 organisms. Training is provided on all equipment, allowing trainees the opportunity to become expert users in a wide variety of equipment. Staff are available for consultation around experimental design and can be hired for custom projects serving both internal and external clients.

The Synthesis lab is a full-service open access chemistry lab that offers synthesis tools to satisfy your synthetic organic chemistry needs. We provide the tools necessary for organic chemistry related projects, including natural product isolation, medicinal chemistry, and drug discovery projects. We train users on all equipment, and we also offer industry collaborations.

Specializing in the identification and quantification of small molecules, the Mass Spectrometry lab delivers high mass accuracy data. Mass spectrometry analysis is provided to researchers from within the university, as well as from outside academic and industrial groups.  We have experienced staff available for consultation, assistance with experimental set-up, sample preparation, data interpretation, instrument training and troubleshooting.  Both gas and liquid chromatography platforms are available for analysis of volatile and non-volatile compounds.   As well, various mass analyzers including ion trap and time-of-flight, are available for detection of small molecules. Training is available for all the mass spectrometry instruments.

The NMR lab is equipped with a Bruker AVIII 700 MHz NMR that is outfitted with an automated sample changer (SampleJet) and Cryoprobe for high-resolution experiments on proton, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous nuclei with a very high degree of sensitivity.  It is available for both academic and industrial clients.
