Facility Details

The FaCT Core contains instrumentation and expertise for the fabrication, characterization, and testing of biomedical devices, sensors, and systems. The FaCT Core administratively combines 4 existing engineering cores: the Idaho Microfabrication Laboratory (IML); Boise State Center for Materials Characterization (BSCMC); Research Machining and Engineering (RME) center; and Biomechanics and Mechanobiology (BMMB) facility. This core facility offer a wide variety of instruments (e.g., 3D printers, deposition and photolithography tools, profilometers, SEM, TEM, light microscopy, confocal microscopy, cell culture, etc.) and services (design, machining, imaging, etc.) to both Boise State University researchers and external users.
