The TTRC will regularly sponsor seminars and workshops throughout the year
to highlight various campus resources and instrumentation.
RRC Facilities Update:
Two new Mass Spectrometers have been installed: a Shimadzu Trap-TOF, funded by NIH/NCRR,
and an Agilent QQQ (jointly funded by the College of Pharmacy and RRC). In addition, we
have been awarded a new Chip-Cube by Agilent to develop methods for proteomics and small
molecule analysis using this state-of-the-art HPLC on a chip.
The new laser TIRF live-cell imaging system, funded by NIH/NCRR, is now in operation on
the third floor of MSB. The third floor RRC space will be used to develop a cooperative
inter-college imaging center. An NIH/NCRR instrumentation grant proposal has been
submitted for an advanced multi-photon microscope. The system will be custom-built with
two imaging stations, one for live animals, and the other for tissue slices. It will
include a second laser system to release caged compounds wth an integrated
electrophysiology setup.
The QPCR system has been upgraded with a high-throughput robotic plate loader to handle
ABI TLDA plates. Several labs have successfully used the TLDA technology that employs
pre-loaded 384-well microfluidic cards for such things as micro-RNA expression in clinical
sample. SNIP analysis has increased, and a new intermediate-level SNIP array is being
considered. |
