Bruker 300 MHz NMR Spectrometer

The Bruker instrument is a 300 MHz two-channel Avance III nanobay NMR spectrometer with a 24-position sample changer, and a 5mm room temperature SmartProbe. The broadband channel is tunable from 15N to 19F under full automation. One- and two-dimensional NMR experiment can also be acquired under full automation. This instrument primarily supports medicinal and synthetic chemistry research and teaching.

 

Polarimeter Jasco P-2000 Polarimeter

A polarimeter  measures the optical rotation of optically active substances.  The Jasco P-2000 Polarimeter provides a  single Tungsten source and two wavelengths (589 or 365nm) as well as two Cell Aperature sizes:  3mm for 1ml volumes and 8mm for 10ml volume.

Optima Plate Reader POLARstar OPTIMA multidetection microplate reader

Filter-based Multi-mode Microplate Reader with Simultaneous Dual Emission Detection 

The POLARstar OPTIMA multidetection microplate reader offers all the features of the FLUOstar OPTIMA plus Fluorescence Polarization and a unique simultaneous dual emission detection system, which allows the detection of two emitted wavelengths at the same time. Simultaneous Dual Emission Detection is especially useful for FRET, BRET and Fluorescence Polarization assays since the plate only has to be read once, and when compared to other microplate readers, gives increased throughput, improved sensitivity and lower %CVs – no other reader in this price range offers Simultaneous Dual Emission.

Nanodrop UV-VIS Spectrophotometer Nanodrop UV-VIS Spectrophotometer

NanoDrop 2000 is micro-volume spectrophotometer that allows for sample volumes as small as 0.5 µL. It offers:

  • Direct, easy measurements in less than 5 seconds – just pipette & wipe
  • Measures DNA, RNA (A260) and Protein (A280) concentrations and sample purity (260/280 ratio)
  • Large concentration range (2 ng/µL – 15,000 ng/µL dsDNA) without dilutions
  • Pre-configured methods for common applications such as Nucleic Acid, Protein A280, Microarray, Proteins & Labels, Bradford, BCA, Lowry and Pierce 660nm
  • User-friendly software that includes Custom Methods and data

Multimode Micro Plate Reader-M2 Spectramax M2 Multi-Mode microplate reader

The Spectramax M2 Multi-Mode microplate reader provides two detection modes in one platform and has the added functionality of bottom read fluorescence for cell based assays. Assays can be better optimized by scanning across a range of wavelengths in increments as small as 1 nm.  Up to 4 wavelength pairs can be read in one protocol for endpoint and kinetic measurements, allowing for fast setup of FRET assays.  The SoftMax® Pro Data Acquisition & Analysis Software is Molecular Devices’ industry leading all-in-one software.

 

Circular Dichroism (CD) Spectropolarimeter Jasco J-1100 CD Spectrometer

The new Jasco J-1100 CD Spectrometer  can measure CD, LD and Absorbance for proteins and DNA using as little as 5ul of sample.  The software has been upgraded to the Spectra Manager II Spectroscopy Suite. A circular dichroism (CD) spectropolarimeter measures left- and right-handed circularly polarized light of optically active molecules.  It is a hybrid instrument consisting of a variable wavelength polarimeter and absorption spectrophotometer.
