Real-Time PCR System (ThermoFisher QuantStudio5)

Our 384-well QuantStudio Real-Time PCR system detects changes in gene expressions as low as 1.5-fold. The system supports a broad range of genomic applications, such as analyses of gene expression, microRNAs and noncoding RNAs, copy number variation, drug metabolism enzymes, and protein expression; SNP genotyping; and mutation detection.

Droplet Digital ddPCR System (Bio-Rad QX200)

Droplet Digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) provides high-precision, absolute quantification of nucleic acid target sequences. The creation of tens of thousands of droplets means that a single sample can generate tens of thousands of data points rather than a single result, bringing the power of statistical analysis inherent in digital PCR into practical application.

Eppendorf EpMotion 5073

his liquid-handling robot allows clients to reduce human pipetting errors and reduce repetitive strain injury. There are booking and consumable charge for plasticware used on this equipment if purchased via the Centre. The first time you use this instrument, you will need a short training.

Victor Nivo 3F Multimode Plate Reader

The Victor Nivo Multimode 3F Plate Reader is a high-performance plate reader. The Nivo reads optical biosensor label-free, fluorescence intensity, absorbance, ultra-sensitive luminescence in microplates up to 384-wells. It has 10 filters (rainbow) which enable a wide range of measurements. With these 10 filters you can measure up to 36 popular labels. This plate reader is often used for high throughput measuring of DNA and protein concentrations using Qubit reagents.
