Edit Facility Details
Delete FacilityWageningen and Delft have launched the new research facility UNLOCK to study mixed microbial cultures extensively. Various sub-areas of research will be integrated through UNLOCK. UNLOCK opens up entirely new perspectives for the discovery of new micro-organisms and ground-breaking research on mixed microbial cultures’.
In UNLOCK, Wageningen and Delft have joined forces towards full integration of all relevant fields of expertise in four complementary platforms:
- The Biodiscovery Platform (WUR-Microbiology) allows its users to discover and characterize new micro-organisms. In addition, there is a processing unit that allows for fully automated unlocking of biological samples for biomolecular analysis.
- The Modular Bioreactor Platform (WUR-Environmental Technology) facilitates research for sustainable solutions to environmental issues, such as the degradation of (micro) pollutants, sustainable energy generation and reclaiming resources from complex waste streams.
- With the Parallel Cultviation Platform (TUD-Biotechnology), users can conduct dozens of experiments in bioreactors simultaneously for comparative analysis of how process variables affect system development.
- The FAIR Data Platform (WUR-Systems & Synthetic Biology) takes care of the storage, processing and interpretation of large quantities of data flowing from the experimental systems in a cloud-based infrastructure based on the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).

This service provides in-depth support and automated computational processes to process the raw data for quality reports, taxonomic classification, assembly, binning, structural and functional annotation, and the development of metabolic models. This service is widely applicable to any kind of sample of which short or long reads are generated. The computational processes are compatible with Illumina, Oxford Nanopore or Pacbio data or a combination of the three to ensure maximum insilico reconstruction ...
This service provides in-depth support and automated computational processes to process the raw data for quality reports and identification of expression using transcriptomics data. This service is applicable to any pro/eukaryotic system for which short reads are generated. The computational processes are highly standardised using a Common Workflow approach ensuring reproducibility. Post processing involves differential expression analysis between the different conditions used
This service provides technical and scientific support for the microbial classification of samples using amplicon sequencing. We provide extensive computational workflows to analyse the quality, classification and functional capacity of the obtained samples. Samples can be processed in hightroughput with more than 1000+ samples per day. This is not only applicable for 16S for microbial sequencing but also for 18S and ITS with the capacity of supporting customised databases
