Equipment Available at GUMC

In addition to the extensive array equipment that is available in the GUMC Shared Resources, there is a wide selection of shared equipment and instruments located in different departments, user-operated equipment housed in the Shared Resources, and equipment in the laboratories of individual investigators who are willing to let others use the equipment. This website provides a listing of such equipment along with information about how interested individuals may gain access to the equipment.

The list can be filtered by clicking on one of the classifications (Shared or Faculty Lab Equipment), or by the type of instrument you are interested in learning about.

Click on the name of the individual instrument to see information about capabilities, location, and access procedures and rules.

Description:

The QX200 Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR™) System provides absolute quantification of target DNA or RNA molecules for EvaGreen or probe-based digital PCR applications.
Benefits of the QX200 Droplet Digital PCR System:
*Most precise and sensitive digital PCR solution for a wide variety of applications
*Flexible digital PCR chemistry — optimized for TaqMan Hydrolysis Probe and EvaGreen Assays
*Flexible assay setup — scalable for high sensitivity or high throughput
*Simple and easy-to-use workflow with 96-sample throughput
*Droplet partitioning by the QX200 Droplet Digital technology reduces bias from amplification efficiency and PCR inhibitors
*Convenient assay design — standard curves are not required
