We have extensive experience sequencing PCR fragments, cosmids and lambda DNA, as well as the usual plasmid templates. We also provide custom primer design, sequence alignment services and handle large sequencing projects. Synthesis of mixed phosphorothioate and phosphodiester oligos, degenerate base sequences, biotin labeling, Aminolink, 6-Fam, Hex and inosine incorporations are also available. The primary purpose of the Confocal Multi-user Core Facility is to provide access to a Leica TCS NT confocal laser scanning microscope for the faculty and students in the California State University System.
Access is available through on-site visitation or remote access connectivity.
The facility is also available to users from many other institutions, in particular community colleges and high schools. CMolS provides faculty and students throughout the CSU the opportunity for joint research and teaching activities directed at the determination and critical analysis of molecule structures. The Environmental Biotechnology Institute at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is the premier resource for advancing biotechnology on California's Central Coast with a focus on bioremediation. Through research partnerships with major corporations, local laboratories dedicated to biotechnology, and cooperative learning experiences that involve students from around the world, the EBI is building momentum toward being a regional powerhouse in biotechnology.
