|
 |
Examine intracellular RNA virus replication and the formation of viral replicative compartments. In addition, the ability of this microscope to perform imaging on live cells in a plate-based format best enables the optimization of dual fluorescence viral replicon assays using image cytometry. |
|
 |
This display can project images in 3D but no VR goggles are needed. This display would best be used for allowing teams or small class groups to visualize a structure in 3D simultaneously. While it is not as immersive as a VR experience, it would facilitate collaborative interactions with larger groups simultaneously. |
|
 |
Measure molecular binding events in small volumes. |
|
|
The BD LSRFortessa is an air-cooled multi-laser benchtop flow cytometer with the ability to acquire parameters for a large number of colors. It uses fixed-alignment lasers that transmit light through a flow cell to configurable octagon and trigon detector arrays. These detectors collect and translate the resulting fluorescence signals into electronic signals. Cytometer electronics convert these signals into digital data. |
||
 |
3D printer for creating prototypes using PLA filaments. |
|
 |
Determine the mass of a biological molecule. |
|
 |
Analysis of images and movies. |
|
|
This instrument is adequate for processing relatively fragile Gram-negative organisms such as E. coli. |
||
|
A chemostat allows us to study interactions between members of microbial communities for a prolonged period of time where pH, nutrient availability and washout of waste products/dead cells can be precisely controlled. |
||
 |
Utilizes biolayer interferometry (BLI) to enable label free, real-time analysis of protein−protein and protein−small molecule interactions. |
|
 |
SPR optical biosensor that provides real-time data on the affinity, specificity, and interaction kinetics of protein interactions. |
|
 |
Fluorometer for quantifying nucleic acid samples for sequencing. |
|
 |
Provides a collection of 270+ structural biology applications on Linux and OS X computers. A few commercial applications are also supported, including Geneious for cloning and bioinformatics, incentive builds for PyMOL, and for North American labs, the Schrodinger Small-Molecule Drug Discovery Suite. Allows access a complete execution environment that includes the suite of structural biology applications preconfigured to run without any additional settings. Applications can be invoked from the shell prompt; there is no need to set up additional variables, change your path environment, or install supporting applications. |
