UMASS AMHERST CORE FACILITIES
We work together with researchers toward a singular goal: advancing applied science and technology to address the world’s most pressing challenges. The UMass Amherst Core Facilities offer expertise and resources that create new opportunities, not only for scientific achievement, but also for establishing new models of collaboration.
Provides transgenic, gene targeting, and other services to the research community
Resources to facilitate basic and translational research in physiological, biomechanical, and behavioral mechanisms of human health and performance.
Whole-body non-invasive imaging and spectroscopy technologies for academic and industry-based research.
Utilizing the ‘gold standard’ SARS-C0V-2 assay – involving RNA extraction/qPCR, to ensure the lowest possible false positive/false negative results.
Develops algorithms and processes for large scale wearable sensor networks to support the development of novel hardware.
Isolates and concentrates bioactives, thermally treats them by ultrahigh pasteurization and agitating retort, produces emulsion systems by homogenization, and encapsulates by freeze or spray drying.
Equipped with EEG systems for recording sleep physiology (sleep staging). A central control room will allow for on-line observation and monitoring of sleep in populations from infants to the elderly.
