Core facilities

DAGMAR - Danish Genetically Modified Animal Resource

All state of the art technologies of molecular mouse genetics are performed. These techniques include production of transgenic mice, chimeric mice, as well as targeted mutagenesis by homologous recombination. Cryopreservation of mouse embryos and sperm, rederivation and sanitation of mouse lines. Derivation culture, genetic modification and differentiation of murine ES cells    

Bioimaging Core Facility

AU Bioimaging Core Facility provides state-of-the-art equipment for a wide range of light microscopy applications.  

Diffraction

An industry portal that offers collaboration, advice, training, measurements, technical support, and data analysis in the field of X-ray and neutron diffraction. 

Cryo-EM Facility

Transmission electron microscopy at cryogenic temperatures. Flexible high resolution microscope, which can be used for both biological and inorganic samples in both 2D and 3D. Possibility for automatic sample analysis.  

FACS - Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting

The FACS Core Facility has three state-of-the-art cell sorters, two FACSAria III and one MoFlo Astrios. As much as six different cell populations can be sorted simultaneously and cells can either be sorted onto slides, into tubes (1-15 ml) or plates (6-384 wells).   

In Vivo Optical Imaging Core Facility

Scans in 3D fluorescence and chemiluminescence in live animals  

Cell line authentication

MOMA offers the  ISO 15189 DANAK/ILAC accredited service IdentiCell for human cell line authentication  

Danish BioImaging Network

Network giving access to microscopes and imaging tools in Denmark.
