THE CENTER FOR ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS (managed by NIBB)

Head of Facility: MOROHASHI, Ken-ichirou
Technical Staffs: OHSAWA, Sonoko
  MORI, Tomoko
  MAKINO, Yumiko
  TAKAMI, Shigemi
  NAKAMURA, Takanori
Technical Assistant: MORIBE, Hatsumi


The Center serves for amino acid sequence analysis, and chemical syntheses of peptides and nucleotids to support researchers in NIBB and NIPS. Newly installed instrument in 2001 is MALDI/TOF-MS. Instruments of the Center can be used by researchers outside the Institute upon proposal.
