Biochemistry Departmental Equipment

The equipment listed on this page is typically available for all users in the department to access for their research needs. By sharing the equipment labs are able to access equipment that is either not regularly used or might be cost prohibitive for an individual lab to purchase and maintain.

Direct Detect IR Spectrophotometer

Function:

Used to quantify proteins, lipids, peptides using IR absorbance properties.

DNAstar Qseq and NGen Software

Function:

Provide Qseq and NGen software packages via Biochem IT. This is in addition to the DNA Star Lasergene Core Suite.

Fotodyne Gel Doc

Function:

Updated software and hardware to allow researchers to continue utilizing the Gel Doc system with modern Windows operating systems. The camera in the Gel Doc system was updated to a 2.0 MP camera allowing higher resolution gel images. The new computer configuration allows users to quickly and easily transfer their images directly to the Biochemistry File Server.

GE Healthcare LAS 4010 Imaging System

Function:

Imager for chemiluminescence, UV and white light transillumination, and multifluorescence analysis of protein and DNA samples in gels and membranes.

GE Typhoon FLA 9000 Gel Imaging Scanner

Function:

Typhoon FLA 9000 is a fast laser scanner optimized for quantitative phosphorimaging, ECL Plus Westerns, visible single fluorescence and gel documentation.

High Performance Centrifuge

Function:

Spin down culture volumes for protein purification

High-Performance Centrifuge

Function:

It can be used in harvesting cells for protein purification, in protein precipitations and solubility assays, and in clarifying solutions.

Incubator Shaker

Function:

Refrigerated console incubator shaker.

Infinite® F500 Microplate Reader

Function:

Filter based Microplate reader for absorbance or fluorescence measurements

Infinite® M1000 PRO

Function:

Microplate readers are capable of measurement of absorbance (single point or scan), fluorescence (single point or excitation/emission scans), fluorescence polarization, luminescence, luminescence dual color, luminescence scan and Alpha Screen/Alpha LISA.
