Equipment

Equipment:

1. Mass spectrometers

An analytical tool useful for measuring the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of one or more molecules present in a sample. These measurements can often be used to calculate the exact molecular weight of the sample components as well.

Manufacturer: Targets Scientific

Model: Benchtop ICP TOF R

2. Chromatographs

An analytical technique that allows the separation of analyte through its characteristics, such as – but not limited to – molecular charge, molecular size, or molecular affinity, to remain within the mobile phase, also known as the stationary phase.

Manufacturer: Targets Scientific

Model: HAPSTIRE ER Field Portable

3. Thermal analyzers

Used to measure glass transitions, phase changes, melting points, and heat capacity. These instruments can also be utilized to determine sample decomposition, oxidation or loss of solvent or water. To measure expansion, contraction, penetration, softening of the sample.

3. QuantStudio 3D Digital PCR System

The Applied Biosystems™ QuantStudio™ 3D Digital PCR System is an affordable digital PCR platform with high accuracy, sensitivity, and precision in a scalable small-footprint platform that is simple to use at any experience level.

• Simple load and go, turn-key chip-based workflow
• Save money with a system priced at less than 50% of droplet-based digital PCR platforms
• Quantitate absolute nucleic acid concentrations in copies/µL

Digital PCR makes new applications possible by enabling sensitive and precise absolute target quantification without the use of a reference or standard curve. Researchers can now go beyond Ct to absolute quantification for investigations that involve detecting extremely rare events or determining the exact number of targets in a sample. The simple, affordable, and contained QuantStudio 3D Digital PCR System brings digital PCR to all researchers.
