454 Sequencing - GS Junior |
| GS Junior sequencer uses 454 sequencing technology to perform high throughput sequencing. |
Bioanalyzer 2100, Agilent |
| “lab-on-a-chip” systems, for the quantitative analysis of DNA, RNA and proteins, that surpass gel-based electrophoretic systems for speed and ease of use. |
Biomek
2000 Automation Workstation, Beckman
|
|
provides simple, intelligent automation of liquid-handling tasks, such as Pipetting, diluting and dispensing operations |
Biomek
NXp Automation Workstation, Beckman
|
|
Biomek NX puts every aspect of liquid handling – including pipetting, dilution, dispensing, and integrations – into a single, automated system. Biomek NX features Span-8. The Span 8 is used for rapid plate-to-plate; tube to plate applications and assay miniaturization. |
CHEF
DR II pulse wave, BioRad |
|
effectively resolves DNA fragments in the range of 5 kb to 6 Mb and is used for disease locus mapping, YAC, BAC, PAC, and cosmifd mapping, RFLP and DNA fingerprinting and Chromosome rearrangements. |
|
|
GeneChip® arrays enable scientists to attain ambitious goals from identifying genetic variations associated with disease to discovering new drug targets. | |
Gene
Pulse and Micropulser Electroporation Systems, BioRad |
|
provides a highly efficient method for introducing nucleic acids, proteins and other molecules into cells. |
Genetic Analyzer 3730, ABI
|
|
automated capillary electrophoresis system that can separate, detect and analyze up to 48 capillaries of fluorescently labeled DNA fragments in 1 run. |
MacConnell automated plasmid DNA purification system |
|
Without centrifugation, the system can run up to 48 mini-preps per hour and the run is truly walk away. |
Prism
7500 Fast Real Time PCR System, ABI |
|
monitors the progress of the PCR as it occurs using probes labeled with various fluorophores.The Fast systems reactions are only 10 ul and can be run in 30 - 40 min. |
UV Crosslinker |
|
The UV crosslinker covently binds nucleic acids to membranes in 30 sec. or less. |
