BGS Marine Operations is a marine engineering facility that provides sampling and sensing equipment to investigate seabed and sub-seabed geology and processes. The equipment includes 2 types of remote seafloor corer / drill:

• RD2: The BGS Remote Drill Two, RD2, is our most advanced seafloor robotic drilling and coring system. It can penetrate up to 50m below the seabed and operate down to water depths of 4000m. RD2 can drill and core a wide variety of lithologies ranging from consolidated...

The University of Nottingham and University College London collaborate to lead the UK Clinical Research Collaboration (UKCRC) Tissue Directory and Coordination Centre, which is the UK's Node within BBMRI-ERIC. The Centre is led from the Advanced Data Analysis Centre at the University of Nottingham and supported by a team at UCL. It's work is guided by an Advisory Committee of external members from academia, industry, medical funding bodies, and regulatory agencies. The Centre supports the work...

The biological mass spectrometry suite provides analytical expertise and practical support for academic (internal and external) and industrially funded research using high-end advanced analytical instrumentation. The facility has a range of liquid and gas chromatographs hyphenated with various mass spectrometers (LCMS and GCMS). Each instrument is dedicated to either proteomics (targeted, shotgun and non-labelled quantitation) or metabolomics (targeted/ untargeted metabolite profiling...

The Biomedical Imaging Unit is a joint University of Southampton (UoS)/ University Hospitals Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHS) facility for diagnostic and research microscopy. The BIU houses microscopes capable of 2-, 3- and 4D imaging (from brightfield microscopy through to confocal, light sheet, time lapse, virtual scanning, µCT, SEM, TEM & serial block face SEM) using a range of imaging sources (light, x-ray and electron). We are the only joint NHS/University imaging facility in the...
