Research infrastructure

In addition to the development of partnerships and collaborations with the Centre's research programs, the critical mass of knowledge, expertise and research platforms provide additional value to research across academia, industry and the wider community.

The Centre has specialised pieces of research infrastructure that can be accessed to drive innovation and evidence-based translation through research collaboration or service provision.

Agena MassArray 4 with Chip-Prep Module

The MassARRAY 4 is a specialised mass spectrometry system for the medium throughput targeted analysis of DNA sequences. Genetic variation and DNA methylation is identified by weight differentiation. The Chip-Prep module automates loading and processing of the SpectroCHIP® Array, reducing handling errors and contamination.

QuantStudio 12K-Flex with OpenArray platform

The QuantStudio 12K-Flex is a real-time PCR platform for medium throughput targeted genetic analyses, including genotyping and gene expression. The platform throughput can be gradually scaled and is compatible with single tube assays, 96/384 well plates and 12K-Flex OpenArray plates. The OpenArray and AccuFill Systems allow for automated preparation of assay plates and the generation of up to 12,000 genotypes per run.

Ion GeneStudio S5 System and Ion Chef System

The Ion GeneStudio S5 systems are designed to enable a broad range of genetic analysis through next-generation sequencing (NGS) at high speed and scalability. The Ion Chef System simplifies the workflow providing an automated, walk-away workflow solution for NGS library reproducible preparation.

Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR™) QX200™ and AutoDG™ Systems

This sensitive system provides absolute quantification of target DNA or RNA molecules for digital PCR applications. Market leader in digital PCR technology and leading methodology for detection of rare variants such as detection of cancer mutations in blood.

ANGLE’s Parsortix system

Specialised microfluidic device for isolation of circulating tumour cells, and other rare cell types.

Gallios Flow Cytometer

The Gallios Flow Cytometer provides efficient acquisition of up to 12 parameters with advanced optical design for enhanced sensitivity for multicolour immune assays, for cellular characterisation and immune profiling.

Nikon Eclipse Ti2 inverted fluorescence microscope

The EclipseTi inverted microscope with four fluorescence channels and automatic scanning enable rapid screening of large areas for the identification of rare cell types, such as circulating tumour cells.

Acquity UPLC with Waters Separation Columns

This ultra-performance liquid chromatography and the associated columns provide a platform for the high-throughput and precise assessment of the abundance of the N-glycans in serum and plasma samples.

Bio-Plex 200 platform

This high-throughput FDA approved platform allows the simultaneous measurement of up to 100 analytes in the same sample with up to 96 samples being measured concurrently.
