Protein
Ettan DALT II system; Typhoon 9400
creates a scanned image of 2D gels, that have been pre-stained Cy-dye fluorescent chemistry or post-stained with Deep Purple fluorescent chemistry
MALDI TOF/TOF Analyzer 4800 Plus, ABI
one of the most sensitive protein / biomarker discovery systems currently available using time-of-flight MS/MS technology.
Analytical Ultracentrifuge,Optima XL-A, Beckman
subjects a sample to a centrifugal field while detecting and recording the resulting movement of molecules.This system has proven to be extremely accurate in the prediction of protein subunit and protein/DNA interactions.
Simple Simon Western Assay, Protein Simple
 
Gel-free, Blot-free, Hands-free automated Western Blots.
Proteomics
Ettan DALT II system; IPGphor  
enables isoelectrically focused separation of proteins on appropriately prepared IEF strips .
Ettan DALT II system; Separation Unit  
performs second-dimension SDS-PAGE separations and separates proteins by molecular weight
Ettan DALT II system; Typhoon 9400/Typhoon Trio
creates a scanned image of 2D gels, that have been pre-stained Cy-dye fluorescent chemistry or post-stained with Deep Purple fluorescent chemistry
Decyder 2-D Differential Analysis software v6.5, GE Healthcare
specifically developed for 2-D DIGE, automatically detects, matches, and analyzes protein spots in multiplexed multiplexed fluorescent images, and is able to detect small differences between protein spots with high statistical confidence.
ImageMaster 2D Platinum software v6.0, GE Healthcare
offers one common interface for both DIGE and non-DIGE gels. Workspace feature combines all gel, matching, and analysis data, and controls all operations. No arbitrary reference gel is necessary.
Ettan DALT II system; Spot Picker 
provides for the automated excision of proteins from the 2D gel, and their transfer to a microplate.
