The Biological NanoStructures Lab (BNL) is a 1600 square foot shared multi-user environment for biological synthesis and analysis. Instrumentation for molecular biology, recombinant protein expression, purification & analysis and tissue culture will be available on a recharge basis.

The BNL Cell Culture Core provides resources for researchers who need access to a cell culture facility or whose labs does not want to go through the hassle of getting certified to perform tissue culture work.

The BNL Autoclave Core provides glassware and plasticware sterilization, and biohazardous waste decontamination and disposal service to research labs across campus.

The Analytical core of BNL houses a variety of analytical instruments for use by trained users. Some basic molecular biology equipment are also available for use.

This BSL-2 lab is fully equipped to measure aspects of immune function, disease and infection, psychosocial stress, nutritional status, and reproductive ecology to explore different components of individual and population health. Specializing in high-throughput biomarker quantification in various sample media (e.g., blood sera, blood spots, saliva, urine, and feces), this facility serves UCSB researchers and others interested in biological aspects of health in clinical, field, and experimental settings.

The MSI Analytical Laboratory is a facility established in 1977 that performs chemical analysis in support of the research community. The services offered include Seawater nutrients and Elemental (CHN) analysis. Simultaneous determination of the carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen content in solid materials. The MSI Analytical Lab will prepare samples for analysis including weighing and loading samples into tin capsules. Analysis of seawater samples for dissolved inorganic nutrients.
