The Biophysical Characterization Core Facility at UMass Amherst is absolutely top-notch with state-of-the-art instrumentation. But the thing that separates this facility from others like it is its Director, Lizz Bartlett. With over 30 years of industry experience, she will not only guide you in selecting and setting up the instrument, but will also aid you in designing the experiment to best answer your question.”

The biophysical characterization facility enabled me to run experiments, collect data, and make conclusions that have been critical to my research. It's a wonderfully curated collection of instruments with excellent training and support from Lizz Bartlett. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to use this invaluable resource on our campus.”

Working on biophysical characterization core instruments has been a terrific plus for both research and training for my own and many other groups working at the chemistry-biology interface. With guidance from the Director Lizz Bartlett, we were able to consider multiple methods to follow up on an interesting discovery and choose the best one to provide key information for the project.”
