The system works in tandem with an Optilab refractometer with extended range (T-rEX), to determine the absolute concentrations of [...]
LiCOR Odyssey

LiCOR Odyssey Infrared Scanner

The LiCOR Odyssey is a highly sensitive scanner operating in the infrared spectrum. This system is primarily used for western blot analysis, though its applications include EMSA/gel shifts, DNA-stained gels, and more. While this requires the use of specialized antibodies and detection products, the benefits of the system far outweighs the cost. Direct imaging of [...]
Hewlett-Packard UV-Vis Spectrometer

Hewlett-Packard UV-Vis Spectrometer

The HP UV-Vis is a standard spectrophotometer capable of single-read and kinetic measurements. The system is also equipped with an onboard Peltier Temperature Controller that allows for samples to be maintained at single temperatures, or read through series of temperatures (such as nucleic acid melting experiments). A basic set of cuvettes are provided for users, [...]
Circular Dichroism Spectrophotometer

Circular Dichroism Spectrophotometer

The Chirascan V100 Circular Dichroism Spectrophotometer measures the differential absorption of left- and right-circularly polarized light by chiral molecules. It is primarily used to analyze the secondary structure, folding, and conformational stability of proteins and nucleic acids. This technique is valuable for monitoring structural changes in response to pH, temperature, ligand binding, or mutations. Official [...]
