The Cell Biology and Image Acquisition (CBIA) Core Facility provides state-of-the-art advanced microscopes, image analysis tools, and technical support to facilitate your microscopy research. We offer consultations to determine the most appropriate microscope for your specific needs and the proper design of your experimental set-up. In addition, we provide comprehensive training and follow-up sessions for all first-time users, ensuring optimal use of the imaging systems. The CBIA Core Facility is located within Roger Guindon Hall at the University of Ottawa. Facility resources are available to all uOttawa principal and adjunct investigators, with pay-per-access fee structure geared towards outside academics, government, NGOs, and industry.
The CBIA core is open from Monday to Friday: 8:00AM to 6:00 PM with after hours access for heavy users. The staff is available during working hours to respond to any issues that may arise while using one of our microscopes or any image analysis issue.

Essen Incucyte Incucyte
IncuCyte ZOOM system is a live-cell imaging and analysis platform that enables automated quantification of cell behavior over time (from hours to weeks) by automatically gathering and analyzing images around the clock. The system provides insight into active biological processes in real-time which is not possible using single-point and end-point measurements. The system resides within the controlled environment of a standard cell incubator. All imaging is completely non-invasive and non-perturbing to cell health. The system can process multiple plates, flasks and dishes in parallel and does not depend on shuttling plates into and out of the incubator. [Product Link]

The TEAM Hub has four research facilities:
1. BioImaging Research Node houses our state-of-the-art commercial and custom imaging systems. Focused on optical imaging.
2. Tissue Engineering & Biomaterials Testing Research Node is equipped with a microfluidics 3D bioprinter and mechanical testers, which facilitate the development of artificial 3D biological tissue models and the biomechanical testing of different biomaterials and biomedical samples.
3. The Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Research Node houses our hypoxia chamber and systems for the characterization and quantification of proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids.
4. The Cellular Biology Research Node has been designed to support the development and use of 3D tissue models. It houses a flow cytometer for phenotyping and performing functional testing of cells and bacteria; a Seahorse Analyzer for evaluation of metabolic activity of cells; and an Incucyte for live-cell imaging of cells and tissues in culture.
