Equipment

The Biomolecular Analysis Facility has equipment which is either not commonly found in individual laboratories or is needed only occasionally by some laboratories. Some equipment is operated by facility personnel, and some is used by individual researchers.

TYPE OF EQUIPMENT	IMAGE
Thermo Scientific Q Exactive HF-X We have four methods of loading samples into this instrument: infusion pump (no fractionation) Capillary electrophoresis nano UHPLC-flow rates of nnn for 75 µm diamater columns UHPLCs with flow rates up to 1 ml/min for larger columns The mass spectrometer has an Orbitrap mass analyzer with a mass range of 50 to 8000, and resolution up to 240,000.
High performance liquid chromatography. Dionex Ultimate for 0.3 to 4.6 mm diameter columns. Variable wavelength UV detector.Used for separation of peptides, proteins and some other molecules, usually with reverse phase columns.
JASCO J-1500 Circular dichroism spectropolarimeter For studies on tertiary structure of proteins. Operated by researcher. Fee for use. Brief background on operation here.
Molecular interactions fortéBIO Octet RED96 uses BioLayer Interferometry with disposable probes to measure association and dissociation rates of pairs of molecules and hence dissociation constants. This instrument can perform 8 simultaneous readings. It can also perform quantitation measurements including some equivalent to ELISA,
