Spectroscopy Facility

Make: Bio-Rad 

Model: Gel Doc TM XR 

The GelDoc Go Imaging System gives a benchtop imaging solution in a compact and evolved package. It acquires high-resolution, publication-quality images of both nucleic acid and protein gels. It's advanced optical design for a large imaging area allows to image up to multiple mini gels at once but still retain a compact size.

Model: Synergy H1 

Synergy Neo2 hybrid multimode reader is designed for the screening laboratory with speed and ultra-high performance. Variable bandwidth quad monochromators, sensitive high transmission filter-based optics, laser TRF and up to 4 PMTs provide ultra-fast measurements with excellent results.

Make: Eppendorf

Model: Biophotometer D30 

A microvolume spectrophotometer is a laboratory instrument used to measure the concentration of nucleic acids, proteins, and other biomolecules in small sample volumes. The Microvolume Spectrophotometer is a compact, easy-to-use instrument that allows accurate and reliable measurements of samples as small as 0.5 µl.

Model: U-View 166-0531 

UV Transilluminator sometimes referred to as a gel light box or lab light box, the UV transilluminator works by emitting high levels of UV radiation through the viewing surface. The key application for a UV transilluminator is for visualization of DNA and protein agarose and polyacrylamide gels after electrophoresis.

Spectrophotometers are the instruments used to identify or confirm the chemical species, chemical structure, or concentration of substances in a sample. Advanced spectrometers help get the reliable results one desires. The spectrophotometer is basically an instrument which measures the amount of light that a sample absorbs. The spectrophotometer works by passing a light beam through a sample to measure the light intensity of a sample.

Model: G2939A 

Nano-Drop Spectrophotometer enables highly accurate UV/Vis analyses of small volume (1 µl) quantification of DNA, RNA, proteins and dye incorporation. The patented sample retention system eliminates the need for cuvettes and capillaries which decreases the measurement cycle time. The Bioanalyzer can be used to assess the size and quality of DNA over a range of sizes and concentrations. The DNA 1000 assay can be used with extracted, clean DNA to look at the size profile of a sample from 25bp to 1000bp at a concentration of 0.1-50ng/ul.

Model: ChemiDoc MP

The ChemiDoc MP Imaging System is an instrument for imaging and analyzing gels and western blots. It is designed to address multiplex fluorescent western blotting, chemiluminescence detection, general gel documentation applications, and stain-free technology imaging needs. Main applications are electrophoresis of protein, including stain-free, and nucleic acid gel imaging and documentation. Blotting can be done identify and quantify proteins, nucleic acids, protein-ligand interactions, etc. with fluorescence, chemiluminescence, or colorimetric detection.
