Stem cells, engineering and FACS
Cutting edge fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) technologies are mandatory elements in the toolbox of a leading medical university. Karolinska Institutet also provide platforms for pluripotent stem cells, CRISPR, and material engineering.
Biofabrication and Tissue Engineering Facility
The Biofabrication and Tissue Engineering Facility (Biofab) offers a diverse range of micro and nanostructuring techniques for a wide scope of applications in the fields of life-science and medicine. The Biofab aims to bridge the gap between engineering and biology at Karolinska Institutet and to provide common grounds with respect to suitable material of use of modular design and tunable structures for biomedical purposes.
Biomedicum Flow Cytometry Core Facility
Biomedicum Flow Cytometry (BFC) Core Facility is a shared resource laboratory that will provide researchers with the capability of performing a wide range of flow cytometry experiments.
CRISPR Functional Genomics
The CRISPR Functional Genomics facility (CFG) offers a wide array of CRISPR applications, ranging from precision genome engineering in cell lines to massively parallel genetic perturbations for genetic screening and unbiased discovery. As a SciLifeLab national infrastructure unit, CFG strives to provide services at the cutting edge of technological innovation. Please note that the Karolinska Genome Engineering Facility (KGE) is now a part of CFG.
Developmental Tissue Bank
The Developmental Tissue Bank provides research groups with defined human embryonic and fetal tissue (“prenatal tissue”), derived from routine abortions, through a collaboration with various clinics. After the tissue is transferred to the facility, we determine the developmental stage, identify the retrieved tissue, perform any necessary dissection, and process the tissue as agreed with the user.
Karolinska Institutet Stem Cell Organoid
The main goal of Karolinska Institutet Stem Cell Organoid (KISCO) is to assist researchers, mainly within the university and in Sweden, to harbour the potential of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) in studying complex human disease mechanisms. A key tool offered and that will be continuously developed is the derivation and use of in vitro organoid systems of mouse and human stem cell origin. KISCO is unique in offering these services as a core facility in Sweden.
MedH Flow Cytometry Facility
The MedH Flow Cytometry Facility at the Department of Medicine, Huddinge (South Campus) offers a broad range of high quality services including assistance with experimental design, training for independent users, and operator-assisted services for cell analysis and cell sorting.
How to book a core facility
iLab booking system for core facilities
Already know what you are looking for? Login to our booking system in iLab and make a reservation. You need a digital SWAM-ID from a Swedish university (the KI-ID at Karolinska Institutet) to login. It is also possible to register for an account as an external user.
Please note that all core facilities at KI are not available in iLab. Visit their webpages to find out.
Single point of contact
Didn't you find what you were looking for or are you unsure about which core facility to contact about a specific tool or analytic method? The KI SPOC for research infrastructure can be of assistance.
Please note that researchers within KI and Region Stockholm have priority.
