UMICH SMART Center

Overview of Services

The SMART (Single Molecule Analysis in Real-Time) Center is an NSF-seeded, shared-use facility providing university researchers with single molecule detection and manipulation tools to track and analyze biomolecules with unprecedented detail. The SMART Center provides access to state-of-the art instrumentation, including single molecule spectroscopy and imaging, laser tweezers, and atomic force microscopy; as well as experienced support in experimental planning and analysis. We would also be happy to give your group a short demonstration of our capabilities and discuss potential applications.
