AKTA - used to purify various proteins and enzymes for many applications, mainly catalysis and sensing

UV VIS
centri
PCR

UV-Vis spectrophotometer - used to quantify proteins and perform kinetic assays

Centrifuge - used to pellet bacteria and filter samples

PCR - used to verify successful transformation of plasmids

plate
Incu
Hood

Platereader - provides a combined UV-Vis / fluorimeter for a 96-well plate. Used in kinetic assays, as well as DNA and protein quantification

Incubators - used to grow various bacteria such as E. coli and A. vinelandii

Chemical hood - provides an isolated environment for reactions that involve toxic fumes

Ozone
Psonic
lampa

Ozone cleaner - used to easily produce oxide layers on materials

Probe sonicator - used to lyse cells. This allows downstream purification of proteins

Lamps - different lamps at varying wavelengths are used to promote catalysis

Gas baloons

Gases - we use gases for catalysis (ethylene, nitrogen, etc..) and oxygen-sensitive enzyme production (argon)
