The biochemistry lab is equipped with devices for analysis of cellular processes. Here is a partial listing of the equipment available in this lab:
1. Perkin Elmer Lambda 2 Spectrophotometer
- Used to measure concentrations of various biological materials
- Measure absorbance or percent transmittance of concentration-dependent dyes
- Continuous visible wavelength range of 200-1100 nm; UV/Visible relies on high-energy tungsten-halogen lamp to penetrate samples
- Data reporting to printer/computer
2. Bio Tek Microplate Reader
- Model EL 310 Autoreader- 96 well microplates
- Measures concentrations of various biological materials
- Wavelength range of 380-750 nm using narrow band interference filters
3. Fisher Micro-Centrifuge
- Model 235B
- Used to separate particulate or macromolecular material from solution
