The Biomedical Technology Service Laboratory (BTSL) / Multi-Use
Instrumentation Facility is a core facility that provides multiple research
resources, and equipment support for the biomedical and clinical research
faculty at Morehouse School of Medicine.


Presently, the BTSL personnel maintain and provide services for eleven
different sites within the Medical Education and Hugh Gloster buildings
plus the Research Wing.
These sites are:

1) Flow Cytometry/Cell Sorting/Bio-Image Analysis
2) 1D and 2D Gel Electrophoresis/Capillary Electrophoresis
3) Monoclonal/Polyclonal Antibody Production/Cell Culture
/Cryopreservation /Immunological Techniques
4) HPLC facility
5) P2 facility
6) P3 facility
7) Darkroom/Polaroid MP3 camera room and four multi-use heavy equipment facilities.
