TYPHOON BIOMOLECULAR IMAGER

Inventory Classification
  • Sample Measurement and Analysis
  • Optical
  • High Resolution Imaging

The 3 is a versatile laser scanner for biomolecular imaging applications. We use it primarily for in-gel visualization of protein targets of fluorescent small molecules (activity-based protein profiling). It can be, however, also used in many other applications. For example, it allows sensitive and quantitative measurements of radioisotopic labels by storage phosphor, analysis of chemifluorescent Western blots, and multiplex fluorescence (e.g. DIGE applications, Western blotting with fluorescent antibodies).

UPG Optiview XG WL Tablet

Inventory Classification
  • Sample Measurement and Analysis
  • Electronic
  • Network Analyzer

The OptiView® XG is the first tablet specifically designed for the network engineer. It automates root-cause analysis of wired and wireless network and application problems allowing the user to spend less time on troubleshooting and more time on other initiatives. It is designed to support the deployment and troubleshooting of new technologies, including unified communications, virtualization, wireless and 10 Gbps Ethernet. The result is that new initiatives get up and running faster and networks stay productive even in these days of smaller teams.
