The Analytical and Biomolecular Research Facility (ABRF) operates from two locations (Callaghan, Life Sciences Building and HRMI) and forms one-half of the University of Newcastle's Central Analytical Facilities. The ABRF, along with it's sister unit the Electron Microspcope and X-Ray Unit (EMX) exists as a centralised research support unit funded by Research and Innovation Division. It provides the University's research community with access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and associated technical support in the areas of Analytical and Biological Mass Spectrometry as well as Flow Cytometry and Advanced Imaging.
The ABRF Laboratory is a University-classified Restricted Area. As such, access to all ABRF areas is strictly controlled for security as well as health and safety reasons. Access is granted only after undergoing a basic laboratory induction process and subsequent authorisation by ABRF staff. Access to the ABRF Laboratory is secured by electronic locks, which are in operation at all times (i.e. ‘24/7’), and entry requires the use of a ‘swipe card’.
