Welcome on the Wiki pages of the Bioanalytic Unit "Biolab" of the Research Building SupraFAB, Freie Universität Berlin. The Biolab is situated Altensteinstr. 23a. The multi-user labs can be used by scientists and students of the department Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy and the Physics Department as well as guests. The labs are equipped for a broad range of methods and techniques in the field of protein biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology and microscopy. The Biolab Wiki provides information about available instrumentation & techniques, instrument booking via OpenIRIS as well as biolab organization including data handling, cell line, virus and bacterial strain collection, lab access and safety regulations. For individual support in biology related issues please contact the Biolab team.
Our fundamental approach: Research works better when knowledge and equipment are shared!
If you wish to hand in samples for characterization, you can do this via our material/compound testing request form in OpenIris (for OpenIris registration see protocol Using OpenIris). Please note, that characterization of compounds/materials is costly, the request also includes the obligation of coverage of the costs for the measurements (from 50€ per sample, organism and type of assay).
In case you want to use the Biolabs, Devices of the Biolab or Microscopes of the Optical Microscopy Facility on your own, follow the instruction on the info page:
HOW-TO-START BIOLAB (https://wikis.fu-berlin.de/x/jAhVT)
Information what to do in case of EMERGENCIES & ACCIDENTS you can find here: https://wikis.fu-berlin.de/x/AQeqXQ
and all relevant information on LAB SAFETY here: https://wikis.fu-berlin.de/x/kQhVT
Addtionally, lab safety information and documents are available in the labs pinned to the wallls or in the lab safety folder in the cabinet in lab 114.7 (chamber).
More information about SupraFAB you can find on the SupraFAB Wiki (https://wikis.fu-berlin.de/x/TwYRT).
More information about the Optical Microscopy (OM) Unit and access to it you find in the OM Wiki (https://wikis.fu-berlin.de/x/o4bZPQ) and ob the BioSupraMol OM Unit page.
Publication of data:
If you use data obtained by a device of the Biolab, always acknowledge the BioSupraMol facility and the Research Building SupraFAB using the follwing sentence:
"We would like to acknowledge the assistance of the Core Facility BioSupraMol supported by the DFG and the infrastructure provided by the Research Building SupraFAB."
and sent a copy of the publication to the Biolab staff Katharina Achazi, Stefanie Wedepohl and Marta Maglione.
