The CoB receives £782k BBSRC funds for a LUMICKS C-TRAP microscope
The CoB has been awarded in June 2023 a BBSRC Mid-Range equipment award to purchase a state-of-the-art hybrid single-molecule dual-optical trap microscope combined with three color confocal fluorescence and laminar flow microfluidics. The LUMICKS C-trap confocal optical tweezers microscope will be used by more than 22 groups across St Andrews, Dundee and Glasgow to measure and apply forces from single molecules to entire cells and thus unveil mechanobiology aspects that are crucial for normal cellular function and also important during disease development. Thanks to everyone that helped to put this proposal together.
