7500 Fast systems. The Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System offers maximum performance in the minimum time. Fully optimized for Fast cycling, the 7500 Fast delivers high-quality results in as little as 30 minutes.
Fast optical plates ensure excellent precision in 10-30 uL reaction volumes which means savings on expensive reagents.
Deconvolution upgrade. This upgrade using a new UNIX based OS, allows the user to image material in 4D at high resolution (6.7 mm pixels). A CoolSnap HQ2 CCD camera allows the software to apply sophisticated algorithms to remove out of focus light and reassign refracted light to the calculated point of origin.
Beckman Biomek NX Laboratory Automation system. Biomek NX puts every aspect of liquid handling – including pipetting, dilution, dispensing, and integrations – into a single, automated system that is powerful and flexible. The NXP workstation offers multiple configurations, including multichannel, BBiomek NX features
• Span-8 with gripper. The Span 8 for rapid plate-to-plate; tube to plate applications and assay miniaturization.
• Rotate a full 360°.
• Pipetting performance for low-volume reaction setup and assay miniaturization, as well as accurate and repeatable results extending into the submicroliter range.

BD Biosciences FACSAria Cell Sorter. The BD FACSAria™ cell sorter sets a new standard for high performance flow cytometry. This benchtop system delivers high-speed sorting and multicolor analysis.
The system has three air-cooled lasers at 488-nm, 633-nm, and 405-nm, wavelengths. Two- and four-way bulk sorting devices for a variety of tube sizes are also available.
Beckman Cell Lab Quanta SC . Cell Lab Quanta SC is a flow cytometry system that simultaneously measures electronic volume, side scatter and three fluorescent colors to provide population resolution and accurate cell counting. This flow cytometer has multiple excitation wavelengths, including 488 nm laser and a UV light source optimized for excitation at 366, 405, 435 nm. Side scatter and Coulter volume make size analysis and fluorescent measurements more precise.
Application Examples: Cell Viability studies, concentration and % of live and dead cells, cell proliferation, apoptosis analysis -dual staining, measurement of active caspase-3 in apoptotic cells, cell cycle analysis
