Kompetenzzentrum Fluoreszente Bioanalytik

The Kompetenzzentrum Fluoreszente Bioanalytik (KFB) is the Genomics Core Unit (GCU) of the University of Regensburg. The KFB supports state-of-the-art genomics services for the local research community, as well as for external partners and clients across Europe.

Our facility has contributed to hundreds of publications in peer-reviewed journals. Click here for an up-to-date list.

Our lab is equipped with the following platform technologies:

  • Deep Sequencing (Illumina NextSeq 2000 system): a growing range of sequencing applications and protocols are supported, including mRNA-Seq, total RNA-Seq, gDNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, smallRNA-Seq.
  • Affymetrix GeneChip Microarrays (Thermo Fisher): RNA expression profiling using single-cartridge arrays (GeneChip Scanner 3000).

?
In addition, we offer stand-alone access to the following instruments: ?????????
?

  • StepOne Plus Real-Time PCR System (Thermo Fisher)
  • Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 (DNA / RNA QC)
  • Covaris S2 AFA (highly-reproducible DNA fragmentation; recommended in many different sequencing library prep protocols)
  • Precellys 24 Homogenisator (bead-based disruption/homogenization of a wide range of tissues)
  • Nanodrop 1000 Spectrophotometer (DNA / RNA quantification)

Our experienced staff provides support along the full experimental workflow: e. g. project design/counseling, cost estimation/preparation of quotes, choice of kits and protocols, sample QC, sample preparation, data QC, and data analysis.

KFB is a member of the SFB960? and a cooperation partner of the Regensburger Centrum für Interventionelle Immunologie (RCI).
