Bioimaging and Analytical Core Labs in the Center for Biofilm Engineering

About the Bioimaging & Analytical Core Labs

As part of the CBE, our Core labs (RRID:SCR_026519) include microscope facilities and an analytical instrument lab. 

We can help you identify:

	Where microorganisms reside Our imaging technology allows us to capture with ultimate precision the position, interactions, activity, and identification of microbes in real-time from intact samples.			What microorganisms are doing We assess microbial activity and interactions by integrating biochemical imaging approaches and the incorporation of stable- and radiolabeled isotopes, and quantify these processes.			How microorganisms alter their environment With our broad range of analytical capabilities, we can determine how microbes are interacting and altering their environmental conditions.

Bioimaging Core

At the Bioimaging Core, users receive individualized training in optical microscopy for both data acquisition and analysis, with ongoing support provided as needed.

Analytical Core

At the Analytical Core, users are trained to run their own samples and standards and analyze data.

Services

We provide one-on-one training, method development, proposal writing, troubleshooting, and data analysis services to help you meet your analytical and imaging needs.

Our imaging and analytical Core labs are equipped with state-of-the-art technologies and methods to provide you with the best results and images of your biofilm or other sample types.

Acknowledgment

Acknowledgment of core facility services and instruments supported by Montana State University is required in publications as it is a key performance indicator of our research activity and we are required to report publication output to our funding agencies.
