A modular electroporation device that includes a CE (capacitance extender) module, a PC (pulse controller) module, and a shock pod cuvette chamber. Electroporation conditions including time, voltage, pulse interval, pulse time, and wave form are easily modified. This instrument is recommended for both eukaryotic and prokaryotic transfections.
Location: ECC Lab 260 Bench B
A standard 96-well thermocycler that is very user friendly and easy to program. The temperature gradient feature is useful for optimizing reaction conditions or performing PCR using multiple primers with differing annealing temperatures.
Location: ECC Lab 260 Bench B
A new plate reader that contains monochromator-based fluorescence and absorbance and full-light luminescence. Temperature control up to 45C and runs the Gen5 software.
Location: ECC Lab 510 Bench A
A high performance plate reader that is capable of measuring absorbance, florescence, and luminescence.

Location: HSRB Lab E-263
A highly sensitive imaging system that relies on fluorescently-labeled antibodies rather than enzymatic reactions and can be used for most protein analysis applications. One particularly useful feature of the Odyssey is that it is capable of detecting two targets simultaneously.
Location: ECC Lab 510 Bench A
Quantify and qualify DNA, RNA, and protein samples in seconds with 1-2 µL, and obtain full-spectral data prior to using samples in downstream applications.
Location: ECC Lab 260 Bench B
A shaker that utilized an eccentric counter balance drive providing a horizontal plane of rotary motion in a circular orbit. Allows variable speeds ranging from 50-400 RPM with a temperature range of 7C to 60C and continous, programmed, or timed operating periods from 0.1hr to 99.9hrs.
Location: ECC Lab 260 Bench B
Microplate scintailation and luminescence reader that is capable of analyzing up to 12 samples at a time in 24, 96, or 364 well microplate formats or in microcentrifuge tubes. It is capable of counting gamma, beta or luminescent samples.
Location: ECC Lab 560 Bench Q
A microcentrifuge with a standard rotor that accomodates 24 x 1.5/2.0ml tubes in a single row. Maximum rpm of 14,800.
Loction: ECC Lab 260 Bench B
A tabletop process that offers variable speeds (90sec, 120sec, or 180 second processing cycle) which can be adjusted from within the processor. A 17-inch wide film transport system provides faster film feed for larger radiographys, or two 8"x10" films can be processed side-by-side.
