Bergen Retrieval Centre for Implants

The purpose of the retrieval centre at BioMatLab is to evaluate the success and failure of joint replacement devices after use and ultimately allow better treatments to be developed

Degradation of implants

The aim of the projects is analysis and identification of degradation products from implants, as well as development of new test methods for detection of possible immunological responses in patients. This activity is a partnership with the clinical environment and basic research activities

Ultrahigh resolution dark-field microscopy

A new microscopy system (CytoViva) allows visualization of ultrafine particles and structures in living cells.
