Australia's largest concentration of beverage fermentation research effort and infrastructure is arguably represented by the University of Adelaide and partners at the Waite Campus, particularly The Australian Wine Research Institute and Provisor Pty Ltd. This cluster seeks to establish an integrated, jointly managed, Multi-Scale Fermentation Facility for Beverage Research. This Facility will address critical shortages in fermentation capacity for research (volumes between 1 ml and 1000 L), offer a vertically integrated system to facilitate step-wise scale-up, allow more accurate modelling of industrial fermentations, enable greater adoption of high-throughput formats and technologies, and achieve enhanced productivity through increased system automation.Read moreRead less

This project aims to enable automated genome recovery from diverse environmental samples, without contamination risk. For more than 100 years, environmental scientists have studied diverse organism / environment interactions using a variety of conceptual and technical tools. Recently, studies of ancient and historical DNA have come to complement these tools and to occupy a significant place in environmental studies conducted over serial time. The project’s addition to the existing dual Ancient DNA complex facility at Griffith University will comprise two liquid handling workstations, each being housed in separate, self-contained, ancient DNA laboratories. The new facility will enable many researchers to have unprecedented access to an ancient DNA facility and a high level of technical support.Read moreRead less
