Instrumentation

Autoclave

Tuttnauer 3870 EL autoclave is used in order to prevent contamination of viruses, bacteria or fungi on equipment or in liquids (media, buffer…). Inner dimensions 38 cm (diameter) X 76 cm (deep) with a try fitting 19.5 cm x 69 cm (up to 35 cm high). Sterilizing by autoclave is…

Cell Disrupter and Sonicator

The unit has two different instruments for cell membrane disruption. Cell lysis is the first step in purifying specific contents produced in cells.

TS Series Cell Disrupter is used to disrupt the membrane of cells by passing them through a narrow valve under high pressure. By…

Centrifuges

A variety of centrifuges is available in the unit, for separating particles in a solution according to their size, shape, density, viscosity (e.g., separating cell membrane and inclusion bodies from soluble proteins). We have Microcentrifuges for 2 mL volume up to 17,000 x g…

Fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC)

The AKTA Avant 25 is the latest-generation FPLC. This system’s automated and easy-to-use protein scanning capabilities enables us to create protein-purification methods or perfect existing ones. The unit has two AKTA Avant 25 systems and an AKTA Basic system which are used for…

Fluorescence Laser Scanner

Typhoon FLA 9500 Biomolecular Imager is a versatile laser scanner suited for applications such as sensitive and quantitative measurements of multiplex fluorescence, Western blots, and radioisotopic labels as well as digitization of colorimetric stains. It scans at a resolution of…

Fluorometer

The Qubit 4 Fluorometer detects fluorescent dyes specifically bound to the target molecule. It uses two Light sources 470 and 635 nm, two Excitation filters 430-495 nm and 600-645 nm, two Emission filters 510-580 nm and 665-720 nm. Qubit Assays can distinguish dsDNA from ssDNA…

Gel documentation system

The Uvitec Essential V6 is a high-end gel documentation system for DNA, RNA and protein gel imaging, for routine lab imaging and quantitative analysis.

Gel Electrophoresis Devices

Nucleic acids and proteins can be separated according to their size using gel electrophoresis. This assay shows whether the sample contains the desired product and how pure it is. Gel electrophoresis can also be used for purifying specific nucleic acids.

Lyophilizer

The Labconco Freezone 2.5 freeze dryer is used to preserve biological material by freezing the sample and then sublimating the solvent under high vacuum. The sample remains frozen until it is dry.

Microplate Readers

The unit has two Multi-Mode Microplate readers, they measure transmittance, fluorescence and luminescence in microplate (96-well, 384-well…) format. The plate readers are equipped with two injectors, allowing automated injection of material to start the reaction, thus increasing…

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) instruments

The unit has several PCR apparatuses: a SensoQuest LabCycler 96 Gradient Gold an Eppendorf Mastercycler Gradient and an Eppendorf Mastercycler Personal. PCR amplifies exact DNA sequences. It can also be used to create specific changes in DNA sequences (site directed mutagenesis)…

Shaker incubators

Several shaker incubators allow growth of bacteria at different temperatures (5-80 oC), leading to different growth rates. Biological materials (proteins, DNA...) are usually produced in bacteria. Control of growth rate may be very important in the production of certain proteins…

Spectrophotometers

Spectrophotometers assay transmittance (or reflectance) of light through a sample at specified wavelengths. The unit has a Cary 300 Bio spectrophotometer with different accessories. The NanoDrop ND-1000 and NanoDrop OneC are spectrophotometers that can measure transmittance of a…
