MACROMOLECULAR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

Biological Materials Laboratory

The Biological Materials Laboratory has facilities for characterization of certain aspects of structure, size, and shape of biological molecules.

In affiliation with associated laboratories on campus, the capability exists to purify, identify, sequence, and physically characterize a range of biological macromolecules.

Currently, the main instrumental areas are static and dynamic laser light scattering, and viscoelastic and rheological measurements.
