RCAS: Research Facilities

Overview

The core facilities in Research Center of Applied Sciences (RCAS) provide assistances for the researchers to conduct various experiments in bio-image detection, material surface analysis, components structure production and micro sample fabrication.

All instruments are located on 6th, 4th and B2 floors in Interdisciplinary Research Building for Science and Technology (IRBST). Furthermore, several public laboratories on 6th, 4th and B2 floors in IRBST are established for our members to do researches in fabrication, imaging, cell and protein.

The RCAS core facilities can be divided into three categories by features: Microscope, Materials Analysis, Micro Fabrication.

Information of Core Facilities

In addition to routine maintenance every year,
we would upgrade the facilities and improve the laboratory configuration.
Moreover, we have suitable plan and management for every lab and instrument in safety considerations of research.
