Coarse-grained Molecular Dynamics

Coarse grained models are becoming increasingly popular to study systems of lipids and surfactants, which means reducing the number of degrees of freedom. Thus, in any coarse grained model there is a ...

Fluoresce-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS)

Flow cytometry is a laser-based biophysical technology employed in cell counting, cell sorting, and biomarker detection. Cells or materials are suspended in a stream of fluid and passed through the e...

Gel permeation chromatography/ Size exclusion chromatography

Gel permeation chromatography (GPC)/ Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) is a widely used technique for  measuring the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of natural and synthetic polym...

Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy (LSCM)

Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy (LSCM) is a fluorescence microscopy technique widely used in the biological and medical field for imaging thin optical sections in living and fixed specimens [1]. Pa...

Neutron reflection (NR) and Small angle neutron scattering (SANS)

Neutron Reflection (NR) is a highly credible, non-destructive technique used to study the interfaces. It helps to define the interface properties between different material layers, and these layers ca...

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR spectroscopy)

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR spectroscopy) is one of the most widely used techniques by chemists and biologists to identify molecular structures. It relies on the  phenomenon of nuclea...

IC – Membrane Biophysics group facilities

The Membrane Biophysics group of Imperial College of London has a range of equipment, much of which is under constant development to ensure we remain at the forefront of membrane biophysics research. ...

Atomistic Simulation

Atomistic simulation is the theoretical and computational modelling of what happens at the atomic scale in solids, liquids, molecules and plasmas. It could be perform throughout Molecular Statics and ...

Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE)

Ellipsometry is an optical technique for analyzing and characterizing an interface or a layer between two surfaces. The method is based on the measure of the change of polarization as light interacts...
