SuperFab is an electronic device nanofabrication facility based at Royal Holloway, University of London in Egham, Surrey. The facility specialises in superconducting and hybrid quantum circuits, especially quantum computing and quantum limited sensing, but also with wider capability. Nanofabrication tools and capabilities available include electron-beam lithography (JEOL JBX8100-FS), Optical lithography (4Pico laserwriter), He/Ne imaging and focussed-ion-beam milling (Zeiss ORION Nanofab)...

Specialised and regulated facilities for the manufacture of Class II & III medical devices for first-in-human studies in the UK.

MAISI is a national facility for the Manufacture of Active Implants and Surgical Instruments, located at St Thomas’ MedTech Hub. We aim to streamline the clinical translation of healthcare engineering research and address the lack of specialised and regulated manufacturing facilities within healthcare settings. Our dedicated manufacturing cleanrooms and regulatory...

The 14CHRONO Centre analyses a wide variety of carbon containing samples using Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) 14C to provide radiocarbon ages or fractions of modern carbon. We also provide AMS 14C analyses for archaeological companies, forensic investigations and industries interested in monitoring bio- vs. fossil based components. We collaborate with researchers around the world to construct radiocarbon calibration curves to convert radiocarbon ages to 'calendar' ages. We also provide...

Biometrology - measuring biological systems to support the development of new bioproducts and services

NPL, as the UK's National Measurement Institute, is the prime deliverer of the UK Measurement Strategy. NPL is a world-leading centre of excellence in developing and applying the most accurate measurement standards, science and technology available. For more than a century, NPL has developed and maintained the nation's primary measurement standards. These standards underpin an...

CABI manages a collection of 30,000 living strains including the UK National Collection of Fungus Cultures. This collection contains over 6,000 species isolated from environmental and agricultural systems, making it one of the most significant in the world. Our range of organisms, collected from 142 countries, consists of filamentous fungi, yeasts and plant pathogenic bacteria. Strains are publically available for research, development and commercial use and are authenticated through our...

CATH-Gene3D was established over 25 years ago and uses both automated protocols and manual curation to combine a highly detailed knowledge of protein structural domains with the vast amount of data available on protein sequences and their functional annotations. As a result, CATH-Gene3D is able to provide unique insights into evolutionary mechanisms and structural and functional relationships across more than 22,554 species.

The structure of a protein illuminates the mechanism by which a...

The Centre for Rapid Online Analysis of Reactions (ROAR) is a central facility which provides critical equipment, software and expertise to enable data-rich experimentation in chemical synthesis. We support both fundamental and translational research, by providing protocols and tools to enable the rapid execution and analysis of reactions, delivering effective solutions to optimise reaction efficiency, selectivity, and robustness. Our Mission is to: • Provide critical equipment and expertise to...

We provide advanced electron microscopy research collaboration as a major core facility at King's. We conduct collaborative research and innovation projects in partnership with commercial partners to advance electron microscope and related support technologies. We are principally tasked with providing a highly specialist and experienced collaborative capacity able to support the electron microscopy research needs of academics at King's. We are the only electron microscopy facility at King's and...

The Consumer Data Research Centre (CDRC) is an ESRC Big Data initiative led by University College London with the University of Liverpool and Oxford and in partnership with the University of Leeds. Established in 2014, the CDRC provides a platform for accessing consumer data through a three-tier data service. CDRC’s key objectives are to procure and make available consumer-related data for social science research for the benefit of society and to serve as a centre of expertise in data analytics...

to what it does The National Reference Collection is a collection of biotic crop threats, and is the UK’s first fully comprehensive collection of plant associated and pathogenic fungi and bacteria, agricultural weeds, nematodes, pest insects and crop samples of importance to UK agriculture. It will be accessible through searchable databases which will help identify crop pathogens and enable the monitoring of their spread. to research/innovation goals and objectives The reference collection will...
