CIMI offers the BD LSRFortessa™ system equipped with 5 fixed alignment lasers, and up to 22 fluorchromes (355 nm (nUV), 405 nm (violet), 488nm (blue), 561nm (Yellow-green), 633 nm (red)), allowing simultaneous use of all lasers. The cytometer uses FACSDIVA software for acquisition and analysis.
10x Genomics Chromium Controller
The 10x Genomics Chromium Controller uses advanced microfluidics to perform single cell partitioning and barcoding in a matter of minutes. Powered by Next GEM technology, the Chromium Controller enables integrated analysis of single cells at massive scale. The Chromium Controller can capture molecular readouts of cell activity in multiple dimensions, including gene expression, cell surface proteins, immune clonotype, antigen specificity, and chromatin accessibility. The key to this technology is its ability to generate tens of thousands of single cell partitions, each containing an identifying barcode for downstream analysis.
Zeiss Confocal Microscopy LSM 710
The Zeiss Confocal Microscopy LSM 710 has 6 excitation laser lines at 405, 458, 488, 514, 561 and 633nm. It is has 3 separate spectral detection channels and is capable of detecting many standard fluorophores, including DAPI, CFP, GFP, fluorescein, Rhodamine, Texas Red, RFP, CY5 and several of the AlexFluor dyes. Suitable applications include imaging of single, double and triple-labeled specimens, 3-dimensional image analysis, colocalization studies, immunofluorescence, time series and FRAP experiments. The microscope uses Zeiss LSM software for image analysis and processing.
Agilent 1220 Infinity II LC System
The 1220 Infinity II LC is an integrated system for routine HPLC and UHPLC analysis in analytical and QA/QC labs. Based on the proven technology of the InfinityLab LC Series, the system’s high quality and high performance help you to achieve maximum return on investment and lowest cost of ownership from day one. You can choose from four affordable, “all-in-one” configurations while upgrade paths allow you to increase system capability as your needs change. The walk-up upgrade and software convert the 1220 Infinity II LC into the perfect LC or LC/MS workhorse for a multi-user environment.
Illumina Miseq System
Access focused applications such as targeted resequencing, metagenomics, small genome sequencing, targeted gene expression profiling, and more. MiSeq reagents enable up to 15 Gb of output with 25 million sequencing reads and 2 × 300 bp read lengths.
GE Healthcare Typhoon Trio Variable Mode Imager System
The Typhoon instrument is a variable-mode imager that produces digital images of radioactive, fluorescent, or chemiluminescent samples. The Typhoon instrument is available in several models. The Typhoon Trio instrument contains three internal lasers (blue, green, and red).
Germ Free Mice
Germ free (GF) hosts, especially mice that have been maintained free from demonstrable microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites throughout life, have become a powerful tool for exploring the interplay between the host and microorganisms inhabiting the human intestine. Using GF mice, investigators can demonstrate the physiological and pathological effects of the intestinal microbiota on the host. Additionally, it is possible to investigate the roles of certain important microbes by manipulating GF mice. The term gnotobiology is used to refer to these types of studies.
Germ Free Zebrafish
The advantages of zebrafish over classical vertebrate models are numerous and include high genetic and organ system homology to humans, high fecundity, external fertilization, ease of genetic manipulation, and transparency through early adulthood that enables powerful imaging modalities. Important biological processes and pathologies explored in this model include wound-healing responses, pancreatic cancer, inflammatory bowel diseases, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and mycobacterium infection. The ability to generate germ-free and gnotobiotic zebrafish has also led to an increasing interest in understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms of microbial-host interactions using zebrafish.
