The Midwestern University Core Facility houses state-of-the-art instrumentation that is available to any Midwestern faculty, staff, or student researcher. This shared equipment laboratory space is located in Science Hall on the Downers Grove campus.  It is actively funded by Midwestern University to support research, foster collaborative projects, drive scientific innovation and engage our community by hosting STEM educational programs.

The Midwestern University Core Facility has a wide range of equipment, with strengths in histology, imaging, and molecular and analytical biology. 

• Histological processing instrumentation includes an automated tissue processor, embedding station, and microtome.  
• High-speed, fully automated inverted fluorescence microscope, a laser scanning confocal microscope, and a scanning electron microscope.  
• Comprehensive suite of flow cytometry instrumentation including a sensitive, high-throughput analytical flow cytometer, a cell sorter and an imaging flow cytometer.  
• Liquid chromatography mass spectrometer, a hand-held 3D scanner, a high-throughput multimodal plate reader, a complete cell culture facility and more. 

The Core Facility operates with faculty oversight and is supervised and operated by a full-time laboratory manager.  Midwestern University has demonstrated its strong dedication to research by continuously adding to the Core Facility to strategically complement our existing instrumentation and adapt to the changing needs of our research community.
