COFA Service Tampere is a joint venture of Bioscience, Biotechnology and Medical technology research actors in Tampere governed by TUKI-group. We also work as part of Biocenter Finland collaboration network and some of our national services are funded partially by BF.
Our main focus is to offer a broad selection of modern instruments and technology to the researchers within the consortium and wider. This is done by
1. establishing a system of cross-usage of existing instruments, services and methods
2. maintaining a catalogue of instruments, methods and services available, supplemented with contacts and other relevant information
3. offering services on special techniques or certain routine analysis
4. raising money and giving recommendations to financers of purchasing new instruments and equipment for common use on demand
