ABI 3130xl Genetic Analyzer
The ABI 3130xl is a 16-capillary electrophoresis system designed for high-throughput laboratories. It is capable of a wide range of sequencing and fragment analysis applications including microsatellite analysis, AFLP, LOH, SNP validation, and SNP screening. Samples are loaded on 96- or 384-well plates and automatically injected into the array, with only minimal amounts of DNA required for accurate analysis. The NACF uses POP-7 polymer along with an 80-cm capillary, which enables for reads of 1000bp with 98.5% accuracy.
Beckman DU 600 Spectrophotometer
The Beckman DU 600 is a full-featured scanning UV/Vis spectrophotometer of stable beam optical design with an extended wavelength range from 190 to 1100 nm. It is configured with nucleic acid and protein assay analysis software.
NanoDrop ND-1000
The NanoDrop is a full-spectrum spectrophotometer that measures 1μl samples with high accuracy and reproducibility. It's unique sample retention technology uses surface tension alone to hold the sample in place.
ABI 7700 Sequence Detection System
This instrument is a completely integrated system for real-time detection of PCR. It includes a built in thermocycler, laser, CCD detector, and real-time detection software.
Biomek FX Robotic Workstation
The Beckman Coulter Biomek FX Laboratory Automation Workstation is a flexible liquid handling system that allows for a vast array of applications.
