We provide an Analytical service to support both scientific research and commercial partners.

We are based in a purpose-built suite of laboratories in the Rowett Institute and have labs dedicated to Analytical Chemistry, various Mass spectrometry techniques (GC-MS, ICP-MS, LC-MS), GCs and HPLCs amongst others. We welcome any enquiries.

CGEBM helps researchers at the University—and beyond—make faster progress in studying genes and biology. CGEBM offers cutting-edge tools, data analysis services, and hands-on training to support a wide range of projects. This includes advanced methods for reading DNA and RNA, studying how genes are turned on or off, and exploring gene products and cells at a very detailed level.

Our work can be applied to everything from human tissues and ancient samples to single human or animal cells, bacteria, viruses and other tiny organisms, helping scientists understand health, disease, and the natural world more deeply.

The CPD and Event Services Team have collaborated with the Research Facilities Working Group to help arrange this Showcase. As well being professional conferences organisers who support the academic community at the University of Aberdeen, our experienced team can also provide tailor-made training programmes designed to the specific needs of our clients in the public and private sectors, from energy sector professionals to lawyers.

Our team has a long-standing relationship with the academic community and has access to the vast range of expertise available here at the University of Aberdeen, as well as strong industry links having worked with SMEs and multinational organisations for many years.

We will work with you to identify the best training solution to suit your needs, from our existing off-the-shelf programmes to the development of a fully bespoke training course tailored to meet the professional development needs of your organisation and the individuals. 

The Digital Research team deliver technology services and solutions to accelerate research: powerful computing resources, data management tools, and trusted research environments 

North Sea Subsurface Database and Laser Particle Size Analysis Machine.

Within the unit we have industry standard diet kitchen for the design and production of test meals and novel products, clinical research facility, body composition suite, residential facility with ensuite bedrooms for study participants and full analytical back-up from the Rowett's comprehensive analytical facilities

The Marine Biodiscovery Centre was established in 2010 and its research predominantly concerns marine natural product chemistry including microbial strain isolation, genome mining, chemical isolation, and structural determination using spectroscopic methods. There are exciting projects focused on the discovery of biologically active molecules in a range of disease areas such treatments for parasitic infections, cancer, bacterial/fungal infections, and inflammation.

The MBC is a £2.5 M, 400 m² integrated facility with state-of-the-art equipment for the discovery of new products from marine bioresources as well as their synthesis and modification. It houses unique analytical facilities for structural characterisation. There are few dedicated facilities for biodiscovery worldwide and the MBC is at the vanguard of exploration of bioresources for medical and non-medical applications. The MBC co-locates synthetic chemists, medicinal chemists, natural product chemists, analytical chemists, molecular biologists and microbiologists. It incorporates work on natural products from marine invertebrates, plants, bacteria and fungi.

The National Decommissioning Centre (NDC) is a partnership between the Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC), the University of Aberdeen and industry. Combining industry expertise with academic excellence, the NDC is working in partnership with the oil and gas, nuclear and renewable energy sectors to lead research and development (R&D) which helps achieve cost and emissions reductions, improve environmental outcomes and transform approaches to deliver sustainability and net zero decommissioning.

Find out more about our facilities including:

Marine simulator: The real-time simulator provides an advanced, user-controlled virtual environment for simulating offshore and subsea operations.

High pressure hydrostatic testing: The large volume pressure vessel (1.8m x 0.75m internal) can simulate deep ocean conditions down to the equivalent of 7000m depth. The vessel also has 6 penetrator ports for hydraulics/electronic connection to the test items.

Vibration testing: Our vibration table is designed to simulate the shock and vibration conditions experienced by automotive, aerospace and subsea equipment when in use or transportation. It is operational to industry standards and supports up to 600kg load and delivers up to 50 G-force.
 
Environmental testing: The NDC’s two large capacity chambers allow temperature testing from -40°C to +180°C along with controlled humidity for precise environmental simulations.

Indoor immersion tank: Clients can hire our 5 x 5 x 5 metre indoor freshwater tank capable of accommodating offshore assemblies for testing including ROVs and other inspection equipment.

We provide specialist, full project lifecycle support for Innovate UK's Knowledge Transfer Partnership programme, which support innovation projects between academic researchers and businesses.

Our services include: project scoping, application development, award setup, ongoing project management and secretariat services.

Patient Partners are an integral part of the education and training within our programmes. They assist in providing 'real life' learning opportunities where our students can gain confidence and competence possible in a safe and simulated environment.

We help businesses and organisations connect with the University of Aberdeen through a range of collaborative opportunities. Whether you're looking for research expertise, strategic partnerships, or access to specialist facilities, we're here to support your innovation journey.

The School of Engineering has two workshops, both based in the Fraser Noble Building (Mechanical & Electronics). Workshops have a total of nine full-time staff members (seven Technicians and two Senior Technicians).

The workshops support teaching and research of all levels across Engineering and supports the University as a whole.

The facilities have had tremendous investment, so they have the machinery, equipment and resources to support the University at the highest possible level.
