WET LAB - MAJOR EQUIPMENTS

S. No.

Equipment

Configuration and Application

1.       


HPLC System

AKTA PURIFIER 10

High Performance Liquid Chromatography system.

Different types of ion exchange columns are available for eluting the protein sample. HiTrap - CM Sepharose (5ml), HiTrap - CM Sepharose (5ml), DEAE sepharose (30ml), Size Exclusion column, etc., are few examples among the columns we have. HPLC is connected with the dedicated PC for automated control.

2.       

UV-Visible Spectrophotometer

Shimadzu Model - Uv-1800

Eight different standard operational modes are available to perform these studies. Microprocessor based UV-VIS Spectrophotometer with high resolution LCD display and soft keypad for operation on 220V/50 Hz with glass and quartz cuvette. It is connected with desktop system to enable complete PC control. Various biomolecule samples can be estimated accurately with a Wide wavelength range of 1,100 nm to 190 nm, built in validation program, diagnostic and security functions.

3.       

ELISA Reader

Versamax Model 2020

It is provided with a 96 wells microplate with a wavelength range of 400-750 mm. the measuring range for the instrument is 0-4.000 Abs and the measuring time is about 3 seconds per plate in a continuous mode. It supports the absorbance, dual wavelength and multi wavelength methods.

4.       

Gel Documentation System

Syngene GBOX/EF

Has a UV-to-white light converter for viewing protein gels. It has a microprocessor based controller with an electromagnetic door latch supported by an electronic door lock with security function to prevent interruption to long exposure. There is high resolution cooled camera for noise free images with 5.5 effective mega pixels. Neutral field screens to automatically eliminate uneven light illumination and lens distortion effects. Captures and analyzes images stained with Ethidium Bromide, Silver stain and Comassive Blue.

5.       

Thermo Cycler

Bangalore Genei

Equipped with a 20 vial Interchangeable Sample Blocks in this instrument. It shows a complete digital display profile and cycle sequencing with a heated lip facility. The most efficient heating and cooling rates (4-5C) are maintained. It supports a temperature range of 4-99C. There's a power input of 220-240VAC, 50Hz and also has auto restart facility.

6.
