The Australian Government is funding expansion of the internationally recognised Australian Animal Health Laboratory (AAHL), providing the international research community with increased access to its specialised pathogen containment space.

Scientific research and information management go hand in hand. CSIRO’s libraries are a valuable resource to researchers.

CSIRO Library Services supports the organisation's mission of delivering great science and innovative solutions for industry, society and the environment.

A long-term research alliance agreement between CSIRO and Australian biotechnology company, Circadian Technologies, to develop promising new potential treatments for cancer, was announced today by CSIRO Group Executive, Dr Steve Morton.

These techniques allow us to understand hydrocarbon migration and accumulation. They detect current and palaeo-oil zones by measuring the fluorescence from hydrocarbons sealed in fluid inclusions and at the surface of siliciclastic rocks.

The Recombinant Protein Production and Purification Facility is for academic and industry researchers and is part of the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy program.

CSIRO offers expertise and equipment for measuring conductivity and impedance of new materials.

CSIRO's AAHL Fish Diseases Laboratory specialises in research on, and diagnosis of, diseases of aquatic animals, including finfish, molluscs and crustaceans with an emphasis on exotic diseases. The laboratory is an international reference centre for important diseases of aquatic animals.

CSIRO Land and Water can provide access to its state-of-the-art testing and analytical services and facilities on a fee for service basis.

CSIRO offers a wide range of expertise linked to briquetting, pelletising and extrusion processes.

CSIRO's Petrophysics Laboratory offers a range of dielectric measurement options in a broad frequency range for solid and drill cutting samples.

CABALA is used to estimate the tree growth and carbon sequestration in plantations and managed forests.

Ecosystem function analysis is a fast and rigorous method for monitoring landscapes.

The CSIRO Remote Sensing group provides a range of services to assist in the analysis of airborne lidar datasets.

ECHIDNA™ is an innovative, ground-based lidar system, developed by CSIRO scientists, that helps forest managers to assess forest structure.

CSIRO measures commercially significant wood and fibre properties for forest owners and managers, using test instruments developed in its research labs. These include SilviScan™ and near infra-red analysis.

Using unique technology developed in its own research labs, CSIRO provides a range of wood quality measurements of commercially important wood and fibre properties.

CSIRO offers a service to calibrate oceanographic instrumentation (CTD) with a level of precision equal to the world’s best practice.

CSIRO’s textile testing laboratory offers consultancy services and access to fast, cost-effective textile research and development.

CSIRO’s Geomechanics Testing Laboratory carries out testing and consulting work for a wide range of industries, ranging from construction and environmental analysis to consulting engineers and architects.

CSIRO has developed a team of hydrogeologists that have adapted special techniques for understanding hydrodynamic processes of the deep subsurface where oil and gas is generated and trapped and where CO2 can be safely stored for thousands of years.

Using CSIRO’s wind tunnel facility, a calibration service is available to ensure the accuracy to national standards of most types of anemometers measuring wind speed.

Successful exploration relies on knowledge of basin formation and thermal history of sedimentary rock and hydrocarbon migration. CSIRO’s argon dating services can help petroleum companies better determine potential locations for drilling petroleum wells.

From routine analyses for the food industry to the most complex processes used in mining, CSIRO’s Particle Analysis Service (PAS) provides clients with accurate and rapid materials characterisation.
