Lab space and equipment
Zeiss 880 Scanning Laser Confocal Microscope
The Zeiss LSM 880 confocal laser scanning microscope is designed for imaging fluorescence, either in fixed or live samples. A pinhole removes the out-of-focus light and allows investigators to acquire thin optical sections at various focal planes. Stacks of images can be acquired for 3D visualization.
BioAssemblyBot 3D Bioprinter
BioAssemblyBot is a versatile UL and cGMP certified platform powered by a multi-axis intelligent robot that bioprints, transports, and completes assays on living tissues.
Axion MaestroPro MEA Plate Reader
The Maestro Pro is a micro-electrode array plate reader that allows for non-invasive evaluation of cells. Whether monitoring the intricate, electrical activity of excitable cells (e.g. neurons and cardiomyocytes), or tracking the growth and death of cancer cells, Maestro Pro allows for investigation into the functionality of cells.
WES Protein Assay
Simple Western is a next-generation biomolecular analytical tool that seamlessly combines capillary electrophoresis with immunodetection using conventional primary antibodies and conjugated secondary antibodies.
QuantStudio 6 Pro RT-PCR
The Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 6 Pro is a Real-Time PCR System equipped with facial authentication, voice commands, Smart Help, multiplex capability, motorized interchangeable blocks, simplified workflow, intuitive software, and large capacitive touch-screen interface.
