A contusion device designed specifically for research using rats and mice. The system provides researchers specializing in spinal cord injuries with a unique tool to evaluate the mechanisms underlying injury to spinal cord structures.

The customized downdraft table is designed for animal perfusion.

The Leica M320 F12 bundles apochromatic optical quality with cutting-edge LED illumination and high-definition imaging technology. Ease of use and flexible, smooth maneuverability are additional characteristics of this microscope.

When working with large samples, accurate specimen orientation and feed are crucial. The precise specimen orientation system with zero position provides for x/y adjustment of up to 8°. The specimen feed system with 25mm horizontal feed allows for reproducible thin sections.

The Azure 400 offers 3-channel fluorescent detection for Western blots, chemiluminescent detection with the speed and sensitivity of film, and sensitive imaging for standard EtBr and protein gels. In addition to multiplex Westerns, the Azure 400 is a high-performance chemiluminescent imager and gel documentation workstation. This fluorescent imager provides accurate and fast chemiluminescent detection and linearity needed for quantitative blot analysis.

The Chromium Controller from 10X Genomics is designed to automate parallel sample partitioning and molecular barcoding at the single cell level. The controller allows for single cell analysis of CNV, gene expression, immune profiling, and ATAC.
