The Ultra Centrifuge Lab (UCL) is a central research facility that supports researchers in scientific studies requiring high-speed or ultracentrifugation. The lab is located at Universiteitssingel 50, room G3.247C, and is equipped with several ultracentrifuges suitable for applications such as the separation and purification of biomolecules, including DNA, RNA, proteins, and vesicles.

Ice is also available in this space for use in laboratories.

Use is restricted to staff who have received training from the facility manager.
