Research - Seattle, Washington, United States
The Molecular Analysis Facility (MAF) is a fully staffed instrumentation facility located in the new Molecular Engineering and Sciences building for users from the University of Washington, other universities, and industry. Capabilities include microscopy, spectroscopy, biophysics, and surface science. Users can be trained to independently perform experiments, or an experienced staff member can perform experiments for you.The MAF employs a group of full-time staff scientists with expertise that includes biology, chemistry, materials science, surface science, and nano-materials. In addition to performing experiments and training users, these scientists are available to consult on experimental design and finding the best technique to answer a scientific question. Existing and prospective users are encouraged to start a conversation with the staff about their research projects to see if we have the right tool for the job, or if there are relevant advanced techniques and analysis methods.Please visit our website (moles.washington.edu/maf) for more information about available techniques and expertise.The MAF is part of the NSF-Funded National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure network.
