San Jose BioCenter (SBJC) announces the addition of new equipment resulting in all kinds of new bio-tech possibilities for the center:

With an initial investment of $6.5M the City of San Jose Redevelopment Agency (SJRA) partnered with the San Jose State University Research Foundation and opened the San Jose BioCenter (SJBC), a 36,600 sq ft facility equipped with wet labs, dry labs and office space. With its state of the art facilities, extensive laboratory and business services and full range of common equipment, the SJBC gives high potential bioconvergence companies that "big company advantage" that enables them to grow and scale successful businesses at a fraction of the cost.

Thanks to a new investment of $2.2M from SJRA, the SJBC has been able to acquire some very valuable equipment and has now opened its new Chemistry Analytics Core Lab, with equipment and software from Varian that has never been installed anywhere else in the world. This lab features equipment such as a NMR, a LCMS, and an HPLC.

"Such equipment has tremendous value for our companies. Our goal is to support early stage ventures to move quickly from concept to commercialization, which will in turn support the industry overall. Hence we are now opening the Chemistry Analytics Lab to all emerging technology companies in the Bay Area."
