Flash chromatography system equipped with an external evaporative light-scattering detector.
The NSF BioPACIFIC MIP operates a one of a kind user facility dedicated to creating a nexus for synthetic biology and materials to revolutionize high-performance polymers. Users are uniquely able to elucidate biomaterial structure and function to achieve materials-by-design, construct new bio-derived functional monomers from living organisms, access novel sequence-specific materials (e.g. peptoids), synthesize stimuli-responsive “smart” biomaterials, scale-up biomaterial production, and incorporate state-of-the-art theoretic simulation and machine learning algorithms.
Researchers interested in accessing BioPACIFIC MIP may do so through by submitting a BioPACIFIC MIP User Proposal to initiate a research project or a sample/service/data request.
