Tissue Culture Laboratories

Some of the major equipment in the Centre:

Varian SpectaAA-500 atomic absorption spectrometer
  • The Varian SpectaAA-500 atomic absortion spectrometer is heavily used in our trace element research.  
  • Our real time PCR (Applied Biosystem 7500) is proving very useful for studies of mRNA changes in cells and tissues.
  • The phosphorimager (Fujifilm BAS-1800) and ChemiDoc systems (Fujifilm LAS 3000) are used by most groups for detection of radioactive or fluorescent material on blots.
  • Our Amersham Pharmacia AKTApurifier 10 Core System (GE Lifesciences) is regularly used by our research groups in the purification and analysis of proteins using a number of chemistries including gel filtration/size-exclusion and ion exchange.
