Shared Research Infrastructure
Central Instrumentation Facility Equipment
Accessible laboratory infrastructure for biotechnology startups, researchers and students—from sample preparation and controlled culture to analytical testing and process development.
CIF at SCBInc
Turn promising ideas into measurable results
The Central Instrumentation Facility supports early-stage research, product development and validation by providing access to shared biotechnology laboratory resources. It helps innovators work with essential equipment without carrying the full cost of establishing an independent laboratory.
Facilities are intended for eligible incubatees, startups, researchers, students and institutional users. Instrument access, operating assistance and scheduling depend on the approved work plan and current availability.
