"The ArcturusXT™ Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) System provides an automated approach to laser microdissection of individual cells or multi-cellular structures from slides containing tissue sections or cytological samples. The ArcturusXT LCM System consists of the ArcturusXT Instrument, a computer, and the ArcturusXT operating software."
Western analysis system.
"The LAI Automated Comet Assay Analysis System (LACAAS) is a modular system of hardware and software that offers all the features and components needed for efficient collection and rapid automated analysis of large sets of fluorescent single cell comet images, as required for effective and accurate Comet Assay evaluation. The Comet Assay, also known as the Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis Assay, permits quantitative assessment of the effects of DNA damaging or apoptosis inducing agents and mechanisms in a wide variety of important target cell types. The assay also has great utility in studies of DNA repair."
Protocol used to detect apoptosis in cells by labeling with Annexin V for detection by flow cytometry.
Protocol for staining with PE-Conjugated Polyclonal Active Caspase-3 antibody to detect apoptosis by flow cytometry.
Protocol is for MTT assay.
Protocol optimized for cell cultures.
Qiagen mini and maxi prep kits.
Protocol using superoxide dismutase in cell cultures.
This lab allows researchers to access its instrumentation, other resources and facilities.
