Life science

The bioimpedance lab is equipped for impedance measurements in a broad frequency range, spanning from mHz to GHz. We study both linear and non-linear electrical properties. Furthermore, equipment for water sorption studies and near-infrared spectroscopy. We have expertise in electrode systems and measurements on humans, organs, cells, food, other biological tissues and inorganic materials.

The cell laboratory is completely equipped for culturing mammalian cells and has instruments for measuring and controlling the oxygen level in the cells' micro environment. Cell irradiation facilities include a 220 kV X-ray machine as well as a cell irradiation set-up and a cell laboratory in connection with Oslo Cyclotron Laboratory for proton irradiation.
