Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Core
This core was formed in 2002 to focus the department's investments in shared-use infrastructure. The goals of the core are to provide and maintain selected instrumentation and to provide sufficient training to facilitate end-user operation.
Major pieces of supported equipment include:
- Real-time PCR: Lightcycler 480 (Roche light cycler)
- Real-time PCR: Lightcycler 1.2 (Roche light cycler)
- Surface plasmon resonance biosensor (Biacore 3000)
- Phosphorimager (Molecular Dynamics/Amersham)
- PTC-225 PCR Tetrad (MJ Research)
- AlphaImager (Alpha Innotech)
- Typhoon Imaging (General Electric)
- Wallac MicroBeta TriLux
Other shared-use equipment include:
- UV/Vis spectrometer (Lambda 45, Perkin Elmer)
- Luminescence spectrometer (fluorimeter) (LS55, Perkin Elmer)
- High pressure liquid chromatograph (Waters)
- Medium pressure liquid chromatograph (Akta system, Pharmacia Biosciences)
- Lyopholyzer (Freezemobile 25, and Model 10-147, Virtis)
- French pressure cell (50ml, Aminco) and hydraulic press (Carver)
- 2200CA LSA (Packard)
