Water / Micromass Quattro Tandem QuadrupoleHPLC Mass Spectrometer System
LC/MS is a technique, which combines the separation capabilities of HPLC, with the detection power of mass spectrometry. Even with the MS instrument , HPLC is used to remove or separate interference from the sample that could impact the ionization process. The ChEMTox lab Micromass Mass spectrometer is coupled to a Water 2695 HPLC system separations module and photodiode array. This system has high sensitivity and enhanced resolution for ion scanning experiments.
Olympus CKX – 41 Inverted Microscope with fluorescence coupled to a digital camera
This system is used in routine applications with cell cultures. The CKX 41 has a fluorescence illuminator for applications that require staining with fluorochromes. The CKX 41 at the ChEMTox lab is also equipped for phase contrast observations. (photo from Olympus.com). For more information on this equipment go to www.olympus.com
Modulus Fluorometer/Luminometer
“Modulus is a multifunctional single tube instrument designed to give you the utmost flexibility for measuring fluorescence, luminescence, and absorbance. The Modulus operates as a dedicated fluorometer, a dedicated luminometer, or a combination fluorometer/luminometer. This equipment can be used for: Nucleic Acid quantitation, Protein quantitation, Gene expression, ATP and ROS”. ( Photo from Turner biosystems)
Varian Cary 400 UV-Visible Spectrophotometer
The Cary 400 UV spectrophotometer permits the measurement of absorbance of the compounds studied in the lab; it is also used for nucleic acid quantification.
