Duke University's Shared Materials Instrumentation Facility (SMIF) is the Pratt School of Engineering’s core facility that enables materials, devices, and integrated systems research at Duke University in a variety of fields that include nanotechnology, biomaterials and biomedical engineering, information sciences, optoelectronics, sensor technology, and renewable energy. SMIF is housed in the Fitzpatrick Center for Interdisciplinary Engineering, Medicine and Applied Sciences (FCIEMAS). The facility consists of 7,000 square feet of clean room fabrication space, and nearly 3,000 square feet of specialized laboratory space for characterization and imaging equipment.

The MGC staff offer decades of experience with genomic study design and technology. We specialize in working closely with our researchers, customizing experiments to meet their needs, and we are dedicated to optimizing experimental conditions to produce the highest quality data.

Our services include the following: 10x Genomics single-cell gene expression, immune profiling, and ATACseq, 10x Genomics Visium spatial transcriptomics, 10x Genomics Xenium in situ sequencing, and Quanterix HD-X Simoa® bead-based immunoassays.
