Specifically used for purification analysis of proteins in the School of Science, it is ideal for large molecule separation and purification, and it supports a wide range of chromatography techniques with user-friendly software and customizable workflows.
Combined with our experienced staff, ÄKTA go ensures reliable, reproducible results, empowering scientists to achieve high quality results.
Confocal Microscope Laboratory
Olympus FluoView FV1000 Microscope
The Confocal Microscope Facility houses an Olympus FluoView FV1000 laser-scanning confocal microscope that allows for high resolution, multi-channel 3-dimensional imaging of fluorescence-labeled or reflective specimens. The advantage over conventional widefield light microscopy is that the optics of the confocal microscope remove scattered light and light originating from outside the focal plane of interest, thus, generating a high contrast“ optical section”.
Three-dimensional image reconstruction of serial optical sections as well as quantitative measurements can be performed using the microscope software. In addition, the microscope is equipped with a facility for live cell imaging.
