  • Facilities

    The Lim lab has two wet labs, one large and one small, with two dedicated fume hoods, for nanoparticle synthesis and functionalization and also handling of biologicals. The wetlab is climate controlled for biological work, with ruby lights to discourage degradation of fluorescently tagged DNA/proteins. The labs have other supporting equipment such as fridges (-80oC,…
