STORM is a gel and blot imaging system that has autoradiographic and non-radioactive (fluorescent and chemifluorescent) detection capabilities. The STORM image and analysis system, purchased through the School of Medicine's REEF shared equipment grant program, permits the analysis and graphic presentation of data that can be quantitated, analyzed and presented in publication quality figures. Additionally, the STORM system allows for the utilization of new and emerging fluorescent gel and blot methods. This can be obtained with a single, short exposure. Originally purchased as a STORM model 840, the instrument has been upgraded to the equivalent of a STORM 860, allowing for expanded fluorescence capabilities.
The STORM is currently housed in the old Biopolymer Core Facility location (Howard Hall Room 321). Access to the instrument is 24/7; the room where the instrument is located is accessed by combination door lock. For more information about the STORM, or to gain access, call 410-706-8553 or email Nick Ambulos.
The Wallac Victor-2 is a highly flexible micro-titer plate reader that was purchased through the School of Medicine's REEF shared equipment grant program. The instrument is a multitask plate reader which has a broad range of capabilities. It can function as a photometer, luminometer, fluorometer and time resolved fluorometer. This combination of detection modes provides the ability to perform multiple analysis simultaneously and to scale analysis down to attomolar detection levels with appropriate reagents. Analysis can be run in either endpoint or kinetic assay modes. The instrument is computer controlled and menu driven and can accept all microtiter plates with 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 and 384 wells. Should it prove necessary, the instrument can be modified to automatically process up to 20 plates at once. A wide range of filters provide broad flexibility and permit analysis to be run across the spectrum.
The plate reader is currently housed in the old Biopolymer Core Facility location (Howard Hall Room 321). Access to the instrument is 24/7; the room where the instrument is located is accessed by combination door lock. For more information about the plate reader, or to gain access, call 410-706-8553 or email Nick Ambulos.
