The LCI Core Facility is open to the Department for BioMedical Research and external users. Users are required to book the equipment online using the booking system of the MIC (https://iris.science-it.ch).
New requests for access to booking of devices in the LCI Core Facility can be addressed to our email email lci.dbmr@unibe.ch or directly to one of our team members (Dr. Ekaterina Ivanova, Selina Steiner or PD Dr. Fabian Blank). Please fill in and attach to your request the MIC device request form available from the „Links“ section.
Please note that all our devices may only be used after introductory training by facility staff. The scope and duration of the introduction depends on the background and previous training of the user. An introduction is scheduled upon agreement with facility staff and in general 2-3 weeks after the request is submitted.
The LCI infrastructure can be accessed around the clock by badge access, but our staff is only available from Monday to Friday and from 8:00 to 17:00. To access the facility, users will need to have their badge activated. Please contact us to patch your badge or to obtain one.
The use of the IncuCyte systems takes place only under supervision of the staff. Please always contact us by email for booking and setup of your live cell experiments. Sterile hood (cell culture lab) located in the same room as the IncuCyte can also be used and needs to be additionally booked using the DBMR online booking system https://www.reservation.dbmr.unibe.ch/.
