PAB Infrasctructure

PAB is a laboratory for the production and analysis of proteins and peptides, and therefore has the following equipment:

  • Bioreactor;
  • Liquid chromatography systems (HPLC e FPLC);
  • Surfece plasmon ressonance system;
  • Spectrophotometers and Fluorimeter;
  • Electrophoresis systems;

In addition to these equipment located in the PAB, we have access to a variety of equipment available at CENABIO or in laboratories at the Health Sciences Center – UFRJ, including:

  • Six NMR spectrometers (400-900 MHz);
  • Circular dichroism spectrophotometer;
  • Mass spectrometers;
  • Dynamic light scattering spectrophotometer;

These are the activities developed to external users:

  • Design and production of recombinant proteins;
  • Analysis by spectroscopy: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Circular Dichroism, Fluorescence, Dynamic Light Scattering;
  • Analysis by Gel Electrophoresis;
  • Analysis by HPLC;
  • Preparation of competent bacteria for recombinant expression of proteins;
  • Repair and training for liquid protein chromatography systems
