Research Facilities
IKA® RV 10
Rotary Evaporator with Fisher Scientific™ MaximaDry™ Oil-Free Vacuum Pump
Distillation of solvents with a wide range of boiling points. Useful for solute concentration before precipitation,
recrystallization, or dialysis, as well as solvent recycling.
Labconco™ FreeZone™
1 L Benchtop Freeze Dryer
Freeze dry system from Labconco connected to a 195 L/min rotary vane vacuum pump.
Allows for the sublimation of water from polymer and nanoparticle samples for low teamperature isolation, avoiding thermal degradation from oven drying
and providing easy to manage powders.
Labconco™ FreeZone™
Benchtop Shell Freezer
Labconco™ shell freezers are specially designed to be used in conjunction
with Labconco™ Fast Freeze™ flasks. Automated rollers within the freezer spin the flasks during freezing creating a
frozen shell, lining the inside of the flask.
Kodak Image Station 4000 mm
(from Dr.
Zhongyun Dong's Lab of UC Medical School)

-
State of the art cooled CCD camera technology and
selectable multiwavelength illumination from 380 nm – 780 nm allows
detection of the widest range labels including luminescence,
fluorescence, colorimetric, chemifluorescence, and radioisotopic
-
Designed for imaging of a wide range of in-vitro assay
formats, including membranes, plates, gels, extracted tissue, as well as
in-vivo imaging of small animals and plants
-
An optional X-Ray Imaging Module enables x-ray imaging of
in-vivo samples as well, and improves anatomical localization of
molecular biomarkers by allowing perfect co-registration of optical
molecular images with anatomical radiographs
Research Microscopes (BX51 series and IX51 inverted series) & Imaging
system
(from Dr. Zhongyun Dong's Lab of UC Medical School)

-
Fluorescence applications can be done
by attaching a fluorescence illuminator that results in greater
mechanical and thermal stability.
-
The accompanying fluorescence
illuminator, BX-URA2, incorporates a six-cube filter turret including
front shutter control.
In vitro Magnetic Field Generator

-
The In Vitro Magnetic Field
Generator MFG-1000 is an electromagnetic instrument for generating a
strong high-frequency alternating magnetic fi eld in an inserted sample
container (PCR vial or microscope slide).
-
Typical research applications may
involve the use of magnetic nanoparticles, tissues, cells, bacteria,
viruses, and biological fl uids (such as blood).
