BD AccuriTM C6 Flow Cytometer
(Becton, Dickinson and Company, Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, USA)
The BD Accuri™ C6 Flow Cytometer supports research in many scientific disciplines, such as immunology, cancer cell biology, microbiology and environmental protection. It enables the quantitative analysis of the physical and chemical properties of cells. This portable and compact cell analyzer holds the analytical power of a cytometer twice its size. It is equipped with a blue and red laser, two light scatter detectors and four fluorescence detectors with optical filters optimized for the detection of many popular fluorochromes, including FITC, PE, PerCP-Cy5.5, and APC..
NucleofectorTM 2b Device (Lonza Group Ltd, Basel, Switzerland)
The NucleofectorTM system is intended for the stable and transient transfection of animal and human cells, stem cells, and embryonic cells with different substrates (e.g., DNA vectors or siRNA oligonucleotides). This compact device ensures optimal transfection results in a low-throughput format.
ROXY™ EC system (Antec Leyden, Zoeterwoude, The Netherlands)
The ROXY™ EC system is a versatile and useful tool to perform rapid screening of phase I and II metabolism for a single compound. This helps to overcome the difficulties associated with the isolation of metabolites generated in vivo (urine, blood plasma, etc.) and in vitro (microsomes). Other applications include the studies of covalent drug-protein binding or the studies of reagents, e.g., antioxidants on biopolymers and their biotransformation.
Coulter Particle Counter Z1 (Beckman Coulter, Brea, California, USA)
The primary use of the Coulter Particle Counter Z1 is to determine the number of cells per unit volume. It is accepted reference method for cell counting. Used for counting cells suspended in culture medium, following dilution in an isotonic buffer. The Electrical Sensing Zone Method enables counting cells or particles in the 1 – 120 μm size range.
