This service is dedicated to projects aiming to explore and develop complex biochemical assays or assays that had never been performed before. Examples: activity assays (e.g., transcription), motility surface assays, cell manipulation assays. This service will only be performed by Facility Staff, ideally accompanied by the User. As part of this service, the Facility Staff will check sample quality, troubleshoot, and define optimal conditions for data acquisition. If possible, an automation protocol for the experiment can be developed to streamline future data collection. The User can spend up to 10 days in the Facility, testing various samples. The work can be split into two visits. The outcome of this service is an established protocol that can be used for ‘data acquisition’ service.
