FluoView™ FV1000 with FLIP,
FLAP, FRAT, FLIM
The Olympus FluoView™ FV1000 is a next-generation imaging system designed for high-resolution, confocal observation of both fixed and living cells. The FV1000 offers advances in confocal system performance while providing the speed and sensitivity required for live cell imaging with minimal risk of damage to living specimens. In addition, the FV1000 offers a revolutionary synchronized laser scanning system called the SIM Scanner. While one laser stimulates, the second laser simultaneously provides high-resolution imaging. This coordination of laser stimulation and imaging makes the FV1000 an ideal choice for FRAP, FLIP and photoactivation. Scanning Modes:

D8 ADVANCE
Although the D8 Advance is the top-selling x-ray diffractometer for powder XRD applications, its capabilities reach far into other realms of x-ray diffraction. Facilitating more than 10,000 possible combinations of different x-ray sources, optics, sample stages, and detectors, the optimal configuration can always be reached. In addition, the modular design of the D8 ADVANCE enables an easy and straightforward change of configuration. The analytical capabilities can be expanded or simplified. A simple system can be purchased now and upgraded later, allowing for a perfectly cost-efficient x-ray diffraction system. The push-plug optics of the D8 ADVANCE enables a quick switch between the para-focusing Bragg-Brentano geometry to parallel beam geometry without realignment of the system. For the “cut above” standard powder diffraction, the D8 ADVANCE with Vario1 Johansson focusing monochromator features high-flux K-alpha-1 radiation for reflection as well as for foil or capillary transmission experiments. The sample stage concept of the D8 ADVANCE allows for many different sample environments. These range from 10 K Helium closed-cycle cryostats up to non-ambient sample conditions with high temperature and humidity. For ambient conditions, the flip-stick sample stage and the auto changer provide the capability of measuring a batch of up to 90 samples in transmission as well as in reflection geometry. Detector technology is an important core competence of Bruker AXS. This means that the D8 ADVANCE can be equipped with the full range of point and linear detectors. According to the analytical requirements, the user can choose between different types of dynamic scintillation counter, energy dispersive Sol-X, or the Super Speed VANTEC-1. No matter how the individual diffraction solution is configured, any D8 ADVANCE has the ability to perform a full range of applications, from qualitative and quantitative phase identification, under ambient or non ambient conditions, to crystal structure solution from powder samples, crystallite size determination, micro strain analysis, residual stress analysis, and preferred orientation.

Backman Coulter (MoFlo) Flow Cytomter with Cell Sorter
Dako MoFlo Cytometer and Cell Sorter Site Photo |
MoFlo™ was conceived at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories
as a tool for rapid isolation of chromosome-specific DNA libraries for
the Human Genome Project. The technological breakthroughs continued as
MoFlo™ became the first cell sorter to set the standard for multicolor
analysis, event rate processing and sorting performance for the flow cytometry
industry.
Dako (Now Beckman-Coulter) Cytomation MoFlo: The Cytomation Inc. MoFlo (Modular Flow cytometer) provides our sorting capability. In addition, the MoFlo provides the capabilities for the more complicated experiments that can not be done on the FACScan or FACSCalibur (e.g. more than 4 colors simultaneously), other fluorochrome emission wavelengths, and requirements for other laser excitations (e.g. ultraviolet). Our MoFlo is configured with 1 iCyte 200mw Blue Sappire 488nm laser and a Melles Groit Helium-Neon laser. The He-Ne produces 35mW of 633nm light. We also have a UV laser that is tunable but normally operates at 350nm. The MoFlo is capable of analyzing up to 10 colors plus forward and side scatter. In terms of sorting capability, the MoFlo can sort for up to 4 different cell populations at once and is capable of purifying populations that are less than 1% of the total input population. The MoFlo was the first commercial instrument developed with high speed sorting. We have done sorts as high as 50,000cells/sec with recovery rates of 90% or greater. Typical sorts on our MoFlo result in purified populations of 95% or greater. We have the ability to sort a wide variety of cell types due to the variable sizes of our interchangeable nozzle tips. We can sort materials that range in size from DNA to material (e.g. cells, bacteria, yeast) that is up to 200 um in size. The Moflo can sort into a variety of capture vessels ranging from 1.5ml microcentrifuge tubes to 15ml to 50 ml conical centrifuge tubes. In addition to test tubes typically used for bulk sorts, the Cyclone on the MoFlo can deposit variable number of cells into a variety of catch vessels; 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 384 well cluster plates as well as onto slides. It is also possible to sort cells directly onto filters or nitrocellulose membranes. Individual cells can be sorted into plates or slides for cloning for hybridoma production or PCR analysis or in-situ analysis Key features: The most advanced and intuitive software platform, Summit Software v4.3 Highest sort yields with viability and function Proven sort speeds of up to 70,000 events per second The most accurate and reproducible single cell deposition system available Full reverse compatibility of newly developed upgrades MoFlo™ gives you accurate, reliable results for your science. |
