21 september 2023 : Seminar by Laurence Berry about the new MRI-EM4Bio electron microscopy facility
On the occasion of the creation of an electron microscopy service on MRI, we are pleased to announce a seminar to be held on 21 September at 9.45am in room sc36.09 of the Triolet Campus (new white building at the entrance to the University). Laurence Berry, who is in charge of the facility, will explain the range of technologies and applications we can offer you, based on the use of the microscope recently installed in building 24, the Zeiss Gemini 360 and the volutome. This microscope was funded as part of the European ReactEU program.

A dedicated webpage is currently under contruction.

October 2022 : A new Aurora Cell sorter - MRI-IRMB facility
This sorter based on spectral cytometry is equipped with 4 lasers: blue, yellow, red, violet and allows a much more efficient separation of fluorochromes resulting in the possibility to increase the number of detectable colors simultaneously, theorically 35 simultaneous fluorochromes. All the characteristics are described on the dedicated webpage
