Our facilities
State-of-the-art labs at the Heart Institute
We are located at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, one of the foremost heart health centres dedicated to understanding, treating and preventing heart disease. Our labs are equipped for the synthesis, characterization and testing (in vitro and in vivo) of biomaterials and regenerative therapies.
Our services
From design to characterization
Purity to order
Variable purity, from crude peptide to more than 95%.
Secondary structure
Confirmation of secondary structure by circular dichroism.
Thermal stability
Determination of the denaturation temperature.
Polymer conjugation
Conjugation to polymeric backbones, including PEG.
Fluorescent labelling
Conjugation to fluorescent dyes.*
Radiolabelling
Radiolabelling of peptides.*
* Labelling is limited to certain amino acids.
