The Directorate of Biochemistry spans four sites, all equipped with state‑of‑the‑art technology, including the largest fully automated Roche tracking system in Europe (Roche 8100/612 pre‑analytic systems, Roche 702, 801 and Roche Pro analysers).
Our Specialist Chemistry sections at Oxford Road and Wythenshawe boast internationally renowned specialised assays, comprising Waters, Thermo and Sciex mass‑spectrometry instruments, using highly advanced analytical methods plus various other techniques such as HPLC, RIA, ELISA, calcium‑sensing analysis and other manual assays.
