CNBCh- Biological and Chemical Research Centre

Overview

The University of Warsaw Biological and Chemical Research Centre (CNBCh UW) serves as a centre for modern technologies by conducting scientific research that are strategically important for economic development of Poland. The CNBCh UW was established by the regulation of the Rector of the University of Warsaw on the 30th of May 2012 and it gathers the most talented young researchers, as well as experienced scientists from diverse disciplines who carry out innovative and interdisciplinary research at the interface of biology and chemistry. The mission of the center is to support the transfer of knowledge and technology into the economy, while strengthening collaboration between the University of Warsaw and the business sector.
Advanced research of the paramount scientific importance are carried out at the Centre that results enable further development of new technologies in the field of energetics, pharmaceutical analytics, medicines, biotechnology, protection of natural environment and cultural heritage… CNBCh UW includes the most up-to-date research equipment, among others:

X-ray Diffractometer System Agilent SuperNova, Atomic Force Microscoper Bruker dimension Icon, High Precision Mass Spectrometer Nu Instruments with Multi – Collector, Zeiss FIV-SEM Crossbeam Microscope, Transmission Electron Microscoper FEI Talos with EDS detector, Near Ambient Pressure X-Ray Photoelectron Spectromenter (NAP-XPS) CPEC, PET/SPECT/CT Carestream Albira imaging system for small animal research, Eckert and Ziegler Modular – Lab for radiopharmaceuticals synthesis, Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Fusion Mass Spectrometer, NMR Agilent 400MHz with autosampler, Activio-P11 Automated Peptide Synthesizer, Scribner Associated 850e Fuel Cell Test System,, UHPLC Agilent with Mass spectroscoopy detector and Orbitrap, Delta V Isotope Ratio Mass spectrometer, Potenstiostat/Galvanostat with impedance spectrometer 1260 A and adielectric module 1296 A Ametek 1287 A
