CBSE Engineering is a full service organization providing turn key solutions to all our customers.  We have successfully developed and commercialized a number of innovative ideas for both space exploration and various fields in life sciences. 

The CBSE engineers develop and integrate many critical components in support of the ground based research activities of the Center as well as design and support the systems that are utilized by our partners interested in space exploration.   Some of the instruments developed at the CBSE in support of ground-based research include:

• High throughput sub-microliter protein crystallization / liquid handling system
• Dynamically controlled vapor diffusion crystallization system
• Capillary counter diffusion protein crystallization system
• Integrated system for quantitative analysis of crystallization and protein-protein interactions
• Automated electroporation unit
• High affinity biosensors
• Optical imaging systems for protein crystallization
• Automated sampling system for rotary bioreactors
