Ready access to sophisticated facilities and equipment

Our investigative work is made possible by several high-tech research cores at Augusta University. We also access technologies at Emory, Georgia Tech and five other research universities in Georgia through a statewide core exchange, which increases the technological capacity of our scientists several fold.  

Augusta University’s core facilities (all fee-for-service assisted) include the following:

Bioinformatics

SMALL ANIMAL IMAGING

Small Animal Imaging Shared Resource provides magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for small animals and offers whole-body and other imaging protocols specific to MRI such as quantitative MRI protocols.

SMALL ANIMAL IMAGING 

The labs of the Immunology Center of Georgia have state-of-the-art technologies that serve as shared resources. We make them available to other researchers without charging an administrative fee.

 

These shared resources include:

Drew Scientific Hemavet 950

Ley Lab • M. Bert Storey Research Building

  • Fast (26 samples per hour) veterinary multi-species hematology system
  • Features accommodate multi-purpose veterinary hematology needs
  • Uses a positive displacement syringe system to delivers cell-by-cell analysis over an extended operating range
  • Delivers sample volume metering (via the syringe system) to ensure precise results
  • Automated multi-species hematology analyzer performs a variety of quantitative analysis for in-vitro diagnostics of hematological parameters

HEMAVET 950  

Curiox Laminar Wash HT2000

Ley Lab • M. Bert Storey Research Building

  • Higher throughputs and cleaner data via 96-well laminar washing system
  • Gentle laminar cell washing in a format compatible with high-throughput and automated workflows
  • Cell-saving technology – for example, 6 centrifuge washes result in loss of 70-90% of cells
  • Excellent for scRNA-Seq experiments, especially if hash-tagging and CITE-Seq are used
