Summary
Adelaide high-speed cell sorter and analyser facility. Cell sorting and flow cytometric analysis represent powerful and essential tools in modern cell and molecular biology. The applicants seek to develop a core facility within Adelaide University housing a high-speed Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter and a high-speed flow cytometric analyser. Such a facility is not currently available to researchers in Adelaide. These high-speed machines will allow studies on rare cells and subcellular compon ....Adelaide high-speed cell sorter and analyser facility. Cell sorting and flow cytometric analysis represent powerful and essential tools in modern cell and molecular biology. The applicants seek to develop a core facility within Adelaide University housing a high-speed Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter and a high-speed flow cytometric analyser. Such a facility is not currently available to researchers in Adelaide. These high-speed machines will allow studies on rare cells and subcellular components, currently not possible on other machines and meeting the demand for access to this sophisticated equipment is vital for cell and molecular biologists in Adelaide to continue advances in genomics and proteomics.Read moreRead less

Summary
800 MHz NMR Spectrometer for Molecular Structure-Function Analyses. An 800 MHz high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer equipped with a triple-resonance cryoprobe is required to support the research of 5 universities in the NSW/ACT area. The high magnetic field of the spectrometer is necessary for the study of proteins, protein-ligand complexes and other biomolecular systems of molecular weight >30,000. Projects previously inaccessible due to sensitivity, solubility or resol ....800 MHz NMR Spectrometer for Molecular Structure-Function Analyses. An 800 MHz high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer equipped with a triple-resonance cryoprobe is required to support the research of 5 universities in the NSW/ACT area. The high magnetic field of the spectrometer is necessary for the study of proteins, protein-ligand complexes and other biomolecular systems of molecular weight >30,000. Projects previously inaccessible due to sensitivity, solubility or resolution problems will become tractable. The increased turn-around times afforded by the high sensitivity of the cryo-enabled spectrometer make it possible to provide access for Australian institutions that would not otherwise have access to comparable equipment.Read moreRead less

Summary
A 5-D Correlative Imaging Platform: Combining the strengths of light and electron microscopy. This will be Australia's first dedicated five-dimensional multiphoton-microscopy platform, allowing observation of dynamic structures across different length and time scales under controlled temperatures, followed by high-resolution electron microscopy studies on the same samples. This platform will provide a unique characterisation tool to Australia's top-flight investigators, and so contribute to the ....A 5-D Correlative Imaging Platform: Combining the strengths of light and electron microscopy. This will be Australia's first dedicated five-dimensional multiphoton-microscopy platform, allowing observation of dynamic structures across different length and time scales under controlled temperatures, followed by high-resolution electron microscopy studies on the same samples. This platform will provide a unique characterisation tool to Australia's top-flight investigators, and so contribute to the nation's research priorities. It will enable: fundamental studies of cancer, neural diseases and immune disorders; the development of frontier technologies, such as smart nanomaterials, biosensors and targeted drug delivery; and applied research to help plants and soils adapt to climate variability, and to increase sustainable use of water.Read moreRead less
