2) Cell electroporator (BTX Electroporation System Electro Cell Manipulator
3) Centrifuges (2 Beckman Coulter, Avanti JE w/ Rotors)
4) Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography System (FPLC) (Amersham Biosciences)
5) Freeze Dryer (Labconco FreeZone 4.5 Freeze Dry System 600)
6) Luminometer (BMG Labtech, Lumistar Optima)
7) Microplate Spectrophotometers (BioTek Synergy H1 Multimode Hybrid Microplate Reader, and BioTek Synergy HT Microplate Reader)
8) Real-Time PCR machine (BioRad CFX Connect System)
9) Scintillation counter (Beckman Coulter LS6500 Multipurpose Scintillation Counter)
10) Spectrophotometers (Beckman DU 650, “Beckman DU 800, and Spectronic Instruments Genesys 5)
11) Speed-Vac (ThermoSavant SpeedVac SPD111V)
12) Ultracentrifuge (Beckman Coulter Optima XPN-100, w/ Rotors)
