CERCAGINYS gives a second life to disused scientific and technological equipment

In addition to the line of grants for the repair and maintenance of small equipment, CERCAGINYS has opened up the possibility of exchanging machinery between participating centres. "What for some is disused material, for others may still have a useful life or serve as parts," says Roger Cabezas, director of Knowledge Management at CERCA. On the programme's intranet, responsables of the platforms can offer or consult the offers of equipment, and the exchange is articulated through a transfer agreement. The proposal has taken off among the centres and, at present, the transfer of a confocal microscope is being finalised. Work is also underway to exchange two gas chromatographs and a flow cytometer.
