Common equipment room available equipment and operating rates

Common equipment room equipment list

no Location Device name (company/model name) Purpose of use
1 Microscope room 1 Confocal microscopy (Zeiss/LSM 880) By identifying the three-dimensional structure of a fluorescently stained sample, there is less cross-talk when observing multi-fluorescently stained samples, and quantitative fluorescence analysis is possible. By optically sectioning colocalization samples, clear optical section images without blurring are possible. The shape and internal structure can be visualized without any damage to the sample, and the dedicated transmitted light detector provides high-resolution transmitted light images and is useful for analyzing the three-dimensional structure and micromorphology of samples such as chromosomes and cells.
2 Microscope room 3 Confocal microscopy (Leica/TCS SP5II)
3 Microscope room 2 Laser Capture Microdissection (Arcturus LCM) It is an essential equipment in molecular biology, cell biology, and pathology research enabling us to see related cells and tissues using a CCD camera, and then transfers and specialized cells within the tissue using a low-energy laser and special film. An automated system that easily obtains tissue by cutting it with a laser without causing chemical or physical changes in its shape or cells.
4 Microscope room 4 Fluorescence microscope (Zeiss/LSM510) A microscope that allows observation by fixing cells and staining them using a primary antibody labeled with a fluorescent substance, or by staining them with a secondary antibody labeled with a fluorescent substance when using an unlabeled primary antibody.
5 Microscope room 3 Fluorescence microscope (Nikon/ECLIPSE Ni)
6 All microscope rooms Cryotome (Leica/CM3050S)
7 All microscope rooms Microtome (Leica/RM2125RTS)
8 FACS room 2 Slide Scanner (Zeiss/ AxioScan Z.1) Equipment that creates more accurate and highly reproducible images by automating the task of scanning the entire slide with superior functionality and resolution than that of a general microscope using the digital slide method.
 9 FACS room 1 Flow Cytometry (BD/FACSCalibur) This is a device that uses the characteristic of a fluorescent substance being activated and released by a laser beam to pass a fluorescently labeled liquid sample through a certain detection area and perform qualitative quantification by characteristic. By processing specific fluorescent compounds that can bind or bind to various organic substances within cells, the presence of specific components can be checked and quantitative information can be obtained.
10 FACS Room 1 Flow Cytometry (Beckman/CytoFlex)
11 FACS Room 3 Flow Cytometry Sorter (Beckman)
12 All FACS rooms Ultrapure water production device produces ultrapure water by electrical deionization, reverse osmosis, distillation, or deionization.
13 All FACS rooms Autoclave (Tomy/SX-700) The sterilization temperature ranges from 105℃ to 135℃ and the pressure is up to 40psig, which kills the sterilizer using steam and pressure.
14 FACS anterior chamber Ultracentrifuge (Beckman/XL-90 ) A method of separating cell organelles or macromolecules using centrifugal force generated by rotating the sample at ultra-high speed. Used for protein analysis using density gradient for separation of DNA or viruses.
15 FACS anterior chamber Highcentrifuge (Beckman/Abanti J-E) It is most often used to divide the homogenate into several parts using centrifugal force. The homogenate is placed in a test tube and the centrifuge is rotated at high speed to separate substances according to particle size and density.
16 FACS anterior chamber Ice maker (POSIM/CM-50F)
17 Basic equipment room 1 Freeze dryer (Operon/FDS-7012) The sample is placed in a container, pre-frozen at about -20°C or lower with dry ice and placed in a desiccator connected to a cold trap and vacuum pump. A heating plate supplies heat of sublimation for multiple freeze drying, and water vapor generated during drying is condensed into ice. Consists of a condenser, vacuum chamber, and vacuum pump.
18 IXM-Ctlf High Contents Screeing Imagning System(MD/ImageXpress Micro Confocal ) A microscopy instrument capable of switching between widefield and confocal imaging of fixed and live cells; an automated, high-content imaging system capable of observing thick tissues, 2D and 3D models, and intracellular structures; standard confocal mode (60 μm pinhole) (spinning disk with pinhole diameter), high-resolution confocal mode (spinning disk with pinhole diameter of 42 μm), etc.
19 Basic equipment room 2 Luminescent image analyzer (GE/LAS 4000) Luminescent image analyzer (GE/LAS 4000) An image obtained as a result of a blotting technique in which proteins separated and distributed on a gel are moved to a specific membrane in an electric field, and then only specific types of proteins are colored and detected using an antigen-antibody reaction. 
 20 Basic equipment room 2 Luminometer (MD/SpectraMax-L) A device that can detect and measure luminescence/changes in biological components. Expression measurement allows exploration of various biomarkers for environmental pollutants in vivo and is used to study changes in the structure of cell membranes and capable of tracking the movement of metal ions in the body. EROD ECOD and AHH expressed in cells and tissues. 
21 Basic equipment room 2 Luminex (Luminex/Luminex 200 system)
22 Basic equipment room 2 Microplate Reader (MD/Spectramax iD5) Analyze interrelationships through experiments using materials with optical properties such as absorption, fluorescence, luminescence, temporal fluorescence (TRF), and fluorescence polarization.
23 Basic equipment room 2 Gel-Doc. System (Syngeze/G:Box) Used for DNA image analysis/western blotting on agarose gel after electrophoresis
24 Basic equipment room 2 PCR machine (AB/Proflex Base) An automatic device that artificially amplifies nucleic acids using polymerase chain reaction techniques.
25 Basic equipment room 2 qRT-PCR machine (AB/ViiA7) In real time PCR, PCR amplification products are monitored in real time and quantified in the area where amplification occurs exponentially. Therefore, unlike the existing RT-PCR method, accurate real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is based on the amplification rate theory of PCR. It is a device that integrates a thermal cycler and a spectrofluorometer, and monitors the production process of PCR amplification products in real time to analyze the amount of target DNA.
26 Basic equipment room 2 PXRD (bruker/D2 phaser) is an X-ray diffraction analyzer suitable for crystal structure analysis of crystalline types using powder. 
27 Basic equipment room 2 hybridization oven (NBIOTECH/NB-202)
