Effective September 1, all GEC independent access instrumentation will become part of the UWBC Biogarage.
Hours of operation will be 8-4PM.
Scheduling will no longer be done via the GEC Google calendar, but through the Scheduling Tool on the BioGarage website.
Users will now be required to bring all of their own materials. This includes all reagents, chips, pipettes/tips, and any other consumables.
If you have any questions regarding this change, please contact BioGarage staff at biogarage@biotech.wisc.edu.
The NanoDrop®ND-2000 is a full-spectrum (190-840nm) spectrophotometer that measures 1ul samples with high accuracy and reproducibility.
The small sample requirement of 1ul makes the NanoDrop ideally suited for measuring:
-
Nucleic acid concentration and quality of nucleic acid samples up to 15,000 ng/ul (dsDNA) without dilution
- Fluorescent dye labeling density of nucleic acid microarray samples
- Protein analysis (A280) up to 400 mg/ml (BSA)
- Bradford Assay analysis of protein
- Cell density measurements
- General UV-Vis spectrophotometry
Access to the NanoDrop® is free of charge to GEC facility users.
