New equipment enhances CAMBio research capacity (February 2008)

Over the last 12 months the capability of the CAMBio research group has been considerably enhanced by procurement of several major items of research equipment including:

Infors HT Multifors benchtop fermentation system
This benchtop bioreactor provides the capability for undertaking statistical and rapid evaluation studies in a stepwise, modular manner. The system employs the latest technologies to provide a flexible solution with full fermentation capabilities at a scale of one-litre working volume and below.
Karl Zeiss Axiovert and PALM MicroLaser System
This inverted microscope is fitted with the unique Laser Microdissection and Pressure Catapulting (LMPC) technology. A laser of high beam quality is interfaced into the microscope and focused through an objective to a beam spot size of less than 1 µm in diameter for the cutting action. Laser cutting is a locally restricted ablative process which is completed without heating of the adjacent material. After microdissection, the isolated specimens are ejected out of the specimen and catapulted directly into the cap of a common microfuge tube without any mechanical contact with the sample.
Shimadzu Biotech Xcise robot
The Xcise™ robot will play a crucial part in drug discovery by allowing rapid and accurate analysis of differential protein expression. Software optimizes sample processing providing opportunities for unparalleled throughput in proteomics laboratories. Gel imaging, protein spot cutting and digestion, peptide extraction and deposition are combined onto a MALDI target in this integrated benchtop instrument.
