TATAA makes available the latest equipment for DNA and RNA analysis.
Our "Core facility" services offer you to perform your own experiments.
We strongly recommend you to first attend one of our courses to get familiar
with the technology and the equipment.
RNA/DNA extraction and quality control
Qiagen TissueLyser
Used for efficient homogenization of tissue samples and for improved yields. The TissueLyser uses steal beads for disruption of the samples.
Qiagen Qiacube
For fully automated sample preparation using QIAGEN spin-column kits.
Maxwell® 16 System
Offers automated walk-away nucleic acid and recombinant protein extraction and purification. The system processes 1 to 16 samples in 30-45 minutes. Achieve consistent yield and purity, hands-on time and labor savings and improved workflow.
Geno/Grinder®
The SPEX SamplePrep Model 2000 Geno/Grinder is a new laboratory mill specifically designed for vigorous up-and-down shaking of deep-well titer plates. It is typically used to prepare tissue for extractions of nucleic acid, protein, and other constituents by shaking tissue, steel balls, and a buffering agent together in each well of the titre plate.
FujiFilm Quickgene 810
Automatic extraction of up to 8 samples on membrane columns. After preparation of the samples extraction of RNA from tissue is performed in approximately 15 minutes.
NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer
An excellent instrument to measure the concentration of DNA, RNA and protein. To some degree, purity from phenol and proteins in RNA samples can also be evaluated. The NanoDrop uses only about 1µl of the sample and there is no risk of contamination of the original sample.
NanoDrop ND-3300 Fluorospectrometer
Gives a full-spectrum analysis of fluorescence emission (400-750nm), for measuring fluorophores and reagents.
Agilent BioAnalyzer 2100
Automatic electrophoresis systems that can analyze integrity of RNA samples by looking at 18S and 28S ribosomal RNA. Up to 12 samples can be run simultaneously and approximately 2µl of RNA is used.
BioRad Experion Automated Electrophoresis system
Automatic electrophoresis systems that can analyze integrity of RNA samples by looking at 18S and 28S ribosomal RNA. Up to 12 samples can be run simultaneously and approximately 2µl of RNA is used.
Eppendorf BioPhotometer (Germany)
A compact analyzer for rapid and reliable analysis of ds/ssDNA, RNA, oligonucleotides, proteins and bacterial cell density/turbidity measurement
Liquid Handling
Corbett Robotics CAS-1200
A pipetting station that can, among many other things, distribute mastermixes, add samples, normalize sample concentrations and more.
Eppendorf 7075 (Germany)
epMotion automated pipetting systems. Sample or reagent transfer, assay set-up or nucleic acid extraction. Accurate - From 1 µl to 1000 µl
Eppendorf 5070
epMotion automated pipetting systems. Sample or reagent transfer, assay set-up or nucleic acid extraction. Accurate - From 1 µl to 1000 µl
BioTX WellAware™ Pipetting Systems
These personal automation systems use the BioTX Lab Suite softwares four modules to automate many common laboratory tasks. The WellAware Module is for the setup of sorting and hit picking operations, and for the pipetting of electronic Standard Operating Procedures (eSOPs) made in other modules. The WellAware Module with a PC, monitor and footswitch allows for light and voice guided manual pipetting or sorting of an eSOP. The Protocol Module is used to generate eSOPs for PCR, Sequencing, ELISA and Genotyping protocols. The Norm Module is for eSOP setup of DNA & protein normalizations and for serial dilutions. The Labeling Module is for the printing of barcode labels for vials, plates and other items.
Quantitative real-time PCR instruments
Our instrument park is constantly growing and currently consists of:
Centrifuges
Eppendorf 5804
The comprehensive, modular accessory program covers separation in PCR tube strips and 1.5/2 ml test tubes as well as high-volume centrifugation of Falcon® tubes, flasks and filter plate systems.
