Core Facilities
A core facility supports internal and external researchers in the planning and implementation of research projects through the provision of modern scientific equipment and the expertise of the respective operators. The aim is to make the research infrastructure available to as many users as possible within the DRESDEN-concept research facilities for a fee. Several core facilities are also combined into technology platforms at TU Dresden. They enable efficient utilization of existing resources, generate synergies and interdisciplinary cooperation as well as knowledge and technology transfer. The DRESDEN Technology Portal enables researchers and users to search for specific equipment, complex facilities or services for their research in a targeted manner.
Core Facilities of the Faculty of Medicine Carl Gustav Carus at TU Dresden
The Core Facility preclinical Magnetic Resonance (CFMR) is a specialized facility within the Centre for Metabolic and Immunological Diseases and Therapeutic Technologies Saxony (MITS), dedicated to preclinical imaging using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Our facility provides comprehensive imaging capabilities for morphological, functional, and metabolic assessments in rodent models.

The Institute of Physiological Chemistry at the Faculty of Medicine operates the FACS Facility. FACS stands for Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting and enables the counting and analysis of physical and molecular properties of particles or cells in a liquid stream. The facility offers various state-of-the-art devices for use: two Becton Dickinson FACSAria sorters in the Medical Theoretical Center (MTZ), a Becton Dickinson Symphony A3 and a Becton Dickinson LSRFortessa in the pediatric clinic at the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus.

The Facility for Reproductive and Transgenic Technologies is a service for scientists at the TUD Dresden University of Technology and their cooperation partners. Transgenic techniques such as the injection or electroporation of zygotes to create genetically modified mouse lines are offered as well as the electroporation of murine embryonic stem cells and their injection into morulae or blastulae. Pronucleus injection of simple plasmid or BAC constructs is also possible. The backup freezing of embryos of various stages (oozytes, two-cells and morulae) can be carried out, as can the cryopreservation of sperm and in vitro fertilization.
