Resources & Services

The CICS has to its exclusive usage three laboratories that accommodate the existing research groups, as well as several other rooms that serve to them as support, namely one room of instruments, one room for washing and drying material.
Some equipments (EAA and GC/MS) were installed in a laboratory, whose installation of necessary infrastructures of gases to its functioning is previous to the constitution of the groups of the CICS, and by this reason, is shared with practical classes that soon will be relocated.
Recently, a animal facility was builted, with capacity to accommodate experimental animals of small size (namely roedents), with 1 quarantine room, 4 rooms to lodge animals, 1 laboratory for experimentation, 1 room for cleaned materials and cages, 1 room for dirties and washing/sterilization proposes and adequated sanitary installations for personnel. This infrastructure will allow the prosecution of broather research scopes, namely those involving animal models.
The UnIPSA group has for its exclusively usage two dedicated rooms to accommodate the activities of its investigators.
