Overview
The Biomedical Engineering labs in The Diamond feature state-of-the art, industry-standard equipment which you'll get to use from the moment you join us in the first year and throughout your studies.
Facilities and equipment available to you include:
- a suite of ten Class II Biological Safety Cabinets for learning aseptic cell culture techniques, which are fundamental for cell and tissue engineering
- ten inverted phase contrast microscopes with digital cameras for routine cell monitoring
- a live cell imaging system to study living cells using time-lapse microscopy
- three fluorescent microscopes and two scanning electron microscopes to study cell interations on the surface of biomaterials
- ten electronically-controlled testing machines to measure the tensile strength of a biomaterial or biological tissue
- four remotely controllable small-scale bioreactors systems to mimic industrial biomanufacture applications
- ten data acquisition hardware and software for measuring a range of physiological signals using sensors, such as pulse rate, blood pressure and electrocardiography
- a project space containing ten 3D printers, cutting machines, art engraving and tools for the design and manufacture of a medical device or implant
- a large suite of electronic and control systems hardware and software for the design, development and testing of devices and equipment, which are key skills for biomedical engineers
