Samples can be collected throughout a culture run for monitoring cell densities. Temperature jumps from 30 o C to 42 o C can be achieved in about 12 minutes. Please contact Glenn Miller to arrange for fermentation runs. The HPLC capabilities of the facility have been upgraded appropriately to allow the use of columns from 0.3 mm to 20 mm internal diameter. A Waters HPLC allows the use of a capillary column with LC-Packings stream splitter, micro flow cell, and new control software.
Most popular columns are available in the facility.
Many applications can be performed without an appointment. The BIAcore 1000 instrument is automated with robotics. The operation, data analysis, and experiment simulation software are user friendly. An initial determination of the feasibility of a project takes only a couple of hours. Most ligands can be directly immobilized onto the surface of the chip via amino groups, carbohydrate moieties, or sulfhydryl groups.
