The Center for Advanced Technology is a collection of instrumentation dedicated to serving the research needs of the UCSF andQB3 communities. Our primary focus is on instrumentation for high-throughput experimental biology, but we are also interested in any instrumentation too large or complex to be maintained by a single laboratory.

The Center for Advanced Technology (CAT) has recently acquired a new device, the Maui, which increases the efficiency of hybridization for microarray experiments. The device is particularily useful for very large arrays, such as the MEEBO or HEEBO chips. If you are interested in trying the Maui, sign up on the CAT calendar and be sure to download the protocol.
